1) Regular rotation (every 6 months)
Why?

• Even wear (prevents worn pathways).
• Protects from UV rays (fading) and oxidation (natural dyes).
• Extends lifespan (50 to 100 years without loss of beauty).

2) Spot cleaning (gentle method)
With Marseille soap (no chemicals!)

• Absorb excess:
  For liquids: gently scrape with a spoon (do not rub).
  Avoid spreading the stain.
  
• Apply soap:
  Dip a block of Marseille soap in lukewarm water.
  Rub the stain in circular motions, let sit for 5 min.
  
• Rinse and dry:
  Wipe with a damp cloth (clear water).
  Elevate the rug (on a chair) for air drying.
  Tip: Use a fan (avoid direct sun).

⚠️ Avoid:

• Abrasive sponges or hard brushes.
• Bleach, ammonia (destroy fibers and dyes).

3) Drying: the key to preventing mold and moths
Risks of improper drying:

• Musty odors, white spots (mineral salts).
• Deformation and proliferation of dust mites/moths.

Best practices:

• Dry flat or elevated (no folding).
• Aerate both sides of the rug.
• Avoid residual moisture (dryer or fan if necessary).

What is a Beni Ourain rug?
The Beni Ourain Berber rug is a handcrafted Moroccan woven piece. It takes its name from the Beni Oura tribe living in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. These rugs are known for their simple yet elegant style. They are easily adaptable to any type of decor.

How are they woven?
The weaving of these rugs is an entirely manual process. It requires skills and knowledge passed down from generation to generation by the women of the tribe. The rugs are woven from pure sheep's wool, which gives them great strength and durability. The colors used are often natural shades of black, white, or beige, but can also include touches of bright colors such as red or blue. What do their patterns mean? The patterns on these rugs are often geometric, with diamonds, triangles, and straight lines. The patterns combine to create repetitive designs. These patterns can have symbolic meaning. They regularly refer to the spirituality or traditions of the tribe.

Which room do they suit?
Beni Ourain Berber rugs are versatile and can be used as floor rugs or wall hangings. Due to their thick and plush texture, they offer additional comfort and warmth to any room. Furthermore, they are often used as decorative pieces in modern interiors, bringing a touch of character and authenticity.

What makes them unique?
It is important to note that each Beni Ourain Berber rug is unique because they are all hand-woven. Imperfections and irregularities in the weaving are expected characteristics and only add to the charm and authenticity of each piece.
