Care instructions for hand-woven kilim made from sheep's wool
Hand-woven kilims are not only a work of art, but also a long-lasting piece of furnishings if cared for properly. The natural sheep's wool they are made of gives them a unique structure and feel. With the following care tips, your kilim will stay beautiful for many years:
-
Regular vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner without a brush attachment to carefully vacuum your kilim once a week. This removes dust and small particles and freshens the wool.
-
Flipping: Flip your kilim every few months to ensure even wear on both sides and for even color fading.
-
Stain removal: If you have small stains, you should act quickly. Blot the stain with a clean, damp cloth without rubbing. If necessary, use a mild soap solution and rinse the area with clean water. Blot with a dry cloth and allow the area to dry completely.
-
Avoid direct sunlight: Excessive exposure to sunlight can fade the colors of your kilim. Place it in a location where it will not be constantly exposed to direct sunlight.
-
Annual professional cleaning: Depending on usage and location, it may be advisable to have your kilim professionally cleaned once a year to maintain its beauty and longevity.
-
Storing: If you want to store your kilim for a long time, roll it (instead of folding it) and store it in a cool, dry place. Use moth repellent to repel pests.
With these care tips, your hand-woven sheep's wool kilim will remain an eye-catcher for a long time and enrich your home with its natural beauty and craftsmanship.
