How do I care for the Vava & Linna jute carpet?
A jute carpet is relatively easy to maintain. Thanks to its natural and durable structure, it does not get dirty quickly. Regular vacuuming is usually sufficient. Vacuuming about twice a week will help keep your carpet clean and looking its best.
Always vacuum your jute carpet without a rotating brush, or switch this function off. A rotating brush can pull on the natural fibres, causing the carpet to wear more quickly and shortening its lifespan.
Also take care not to bump the vacuum cleaner head against the edges of the carpet. The edges are finished with twisted yarn and can become loose or damaged through repeated contact. Vacuuming carefully will help keep your jute carpet looking beautiful for longer.
How do I remove a stain from the Vava & Linna jute carpet?
Has your jute carpet been stained? If so, act as quickly as possible. Gently blot the stain with an absorbent cloth or paper towel and avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibres.
Avoid using water to clean a jute carpet whenever possible. Jute is a natural material that absorbs moisture, which can cause discolouration or damage. If you do need to use water to remove a stain, use as little as possible and choose cold or lukewarm water. Afterwards, dry the area thoroughly, for example with a hairdryer on a low heat setting.
How do I care for the Sten & Vagor wool carpet?
A clean and beautiful wool carpet starts with proper and regular care. Vacuum your carpet at least two to three times a week to prevent dust and dirt from settling deep into the fibres.
Always use a vacuum cleaner with a soft attachment or make sure the hard brush is retracted. Avoid using a rotating brush, as it can damage the wool fibres and cause additional shedding. For the best results, vacuum the carpet in one direction, following the pile. This helps preserve the natural structure of the wool.
If your carpet is placed in a frequently used area, one side may wear faster than the other. Rotate the carpet 180 degrees about twice a year to distribute wear evenly and keep it looking its best for longer.
UV rays can cause the natural colours of wool to fade over time. Limiting direct sunlight as much as possible, for example by using curtains or window coverings during the day, will help preserve the colour of your carpet.
Wool is a natural material that benefits from being able to breathe. From time to time, hang your carpet outside in the shade over a washing line for about an hour, or place it in a sheltered outdoor area. This helps reduce trapped odours and refreshes the fibres.
How do I remove a stain from the Sten & Vagor wool carpet?
Accidents happen. When it comes to removing stains from a wool carpet, the sooner you act, the greater the chance of removing the stain completely.
When cleaning wool, use as little moisture as possible and always choose cold or lukewarm water. A gentle stain remover, such as James Stain Wonder, or a mild soap solution can help remove stains. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not affect the material or colour.
Red wine: Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth and, if necessary, sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the area to absorb the liquid. Then gently dab the stain with lukewarm water and a small amount of natural vinegar. If a mark remains, treat the area afterwards with a product such as James Stain Wonder.
Coffee or tea: Blot up as much liquid as possible with absorbent paper towels. Then gently dab the area with lukewarm water, a drop of mild washing up liquid and, if needed, a small amount of vinegar.
Grease: Sprinkle baking soda or cornflour over the stain to draw the grease out of the fibres. Leave it to absorb for a while, then vacuum the powder away thoroughly. If necessary, clean the area afterwards with a mild solution of natural soap.
Urine: Blot the area dry as quickly as possible with paper towels. Then gently rinse with cold water and treat the stain with a mild wool cleaner. Never use ammonia, as it can damage the wool fibres.
Odours: Wool is a natural material that can absorb odours over time, for example from pets or poorly ventilated rooms. Baking soda is a gentle way to neutralise these odours without affecting the natural properties of the wool. Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over the dry carpet and leave it overnight. The next morning, carefully vacuum the carpet using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

Should an anti-slip underlay be placed underneath the carpet?
Vava & Linna: Our jute carpets feature a canvas backing. This adds weight to the carpet and helps it lie flat on the floor. If you have a smooth floor, we recommend placing an anti-slip underlay underneath the carpet.
Vagor & Sten: The Vagor and Sten carpets are made from 100% wool and do not have an additional backing such as canvas or an anti-slip layer. We therefore recommend using an anti-slip underlay to help prevent the carpet from slipping.
Ylva & Lyle: The Ylva and Lyle carpets are made from 100% wool and are manufactured with an anti-slip backing. As a result, no additional anti-slip underlay is required.
