Taking care of your beautiful Afghan rug is simpler than you might think—here’s how:

Vacuum Regularly: Give your wool rug a nice little workout every other week—it's naturally dust repellant, but it still loves the attention. Just tuck those fringes under (so they don't get a bad haircut) and give it a good vacuuming according to your usual schedule.

Spot Clean: Mix mild soap and baking soda in room temperature water for spills. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and then dab, dab, dab away at the stain—like you're giving it tiny little kisses—until the stain comes out. Let it air dry and voilà!

Stubborn Stains: If a stain just won't quit, it's time to call in the pros! Reach out to a reputable local professional handmade rug cleaner—they'll handle it like a champ.
