To care for & maintain your rug, follow the care instructions that are provided for your rug. A common Lost Design Society rug care instruction label is: Light vacuum using suction only to remove loose soil & debris. Clean spills immediately ensuring never to rub the pile surface. Blot wet spills with an absorbent cloth or paper towel. Some stains may be cleaned with mild clear detergent & lukewarm water. If a stain cannot be removed seek specialist cleaning advice.
