Cappelen Dimyr rugs are produced by hand, in the finest available wool with long and strong fibers. However, all long pile rugs tend to shed initially and we therefore recommend you to vacuum your rug daily for an initial period. It is normal for the rug to lose individual fibers, and the excess fibers does not affect the quality of the rug. We recommend to vacuum without a rotary brush spout on our long pile rugs, since there is a risk of damaging the yarn. Also make sure not to use a heavy beater bar or have the vacuum on the setting closest to the ground. Shedding tends to decrease within a couple of months.

Remove stains by carefully using 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 fibers, and is therefore important to sustain. For excess liquid gently dab with a microfiber cloth. For more thorough cleaning, dry cleaning is recommended.
