Everyday Cleaning
- Dust or vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
- Wipe spills straight away with a dry cloth.
- For marks, use a barely damp cloth and mild soap, then dry fully.
Keep Fibres Dry
Moisture is the main enemy of natural fibres. Avoid soaking, and dry any damp item quickly in a well-ventilated room, out of direct sunlight.
Caring for Jute Rugs
Rotate Regularly
Turn the rug every few months so it wears and fades evenly.
Use a Rug Pad
A pad stops slipping and helps air circulate underneath.
Caring for Rattan and Cane
Rattan can dry out in very dry rooms. Wipe it occasionally with a slightly damp cloth to keep it supple.
Storage Tips
Store baskets nested with paper between them, in a dry place. Keep a sachet of silica gel in long-term storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can jute rugs be used outdoors?
Jute is best indoors. For covered outdoor areas choose seagrass, which handles humidity better.
Why do natural fibres change colour?
Sunlight slowly mellows natural tones. This is normal and part of the charm of handmade products.
How do I remove a musty smell?
Air the item outside in the shade for a few hours, then sprinkle with baking soda and vacuum.
