Frequently Asked Questions

The kilim is a sturdy, flat-woven rug made of wool and cotton. Our rugs are made on wooden looms using the slit weaving technique, in which dyed sheep’s wool is woven into a base of cotton.

The handwork is always visible. The kilim is not a uniform machine-made product, it does not have perfect straight lines and angles. The imperfections and irregularities of this woven rug, the „beauty of imperfection“, are a testament to its authenticity.

The kilim should be vacuumed regularly with the correct attachment (without a brush). The kilim should be vacuumed regularly with the correct attachment (without a brush). It is better to vacuum more often, but at half power. If cleaning is necessary, we recommend carpet cleaning or hand washing (max. 30 degrees) with a wool re-greasing detergent. Stain removal: Immediately dab the affected area with warm running water, never rub. Use a sponge and a little liquid soft soap.
