Care for your Cappelen Dimyr
Your Cappelen Dimyr is produced by hand in the finest available wool with long and strong fibers.
Because of its natural structure, the long pile rugs tend to shed initially, and it is therefore recommended to vacuum the rugs daily in the beginning.
It is perfectly common for the rugs to lose individual fibers,
and Cappelen Dimyr has taken this into consideration so that the excess fibers do not affect the overall quality of the rug.
It is recommended to use a rotary brush spout when vacuuming long pile rugs to avoid damaging the yarn. Make sure to not use a heavy beater bar nor have the vacuum on the setting closest to the ground.
Shedding tends to decrease within a couple of months.
Remove stains by carefully use only warm water or for more heavy marks add a tiny bit of normal soap. The wool contains natural fat which helps keeping stains from penetrating the fibres, and is therefore important to sustain. For excess liquid gently dab with a microfiber cloth.
For more thorough cleaning, dry cleaning is recommended.
