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).

Where do Gabbeh rugs come from? In Persian, Gabbeh means raw or natural. Woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribe in the Fars province of Iran, Gabbeh rugs are the most famous nomadic rugs in Iran and refer to a rug with somewhat coarse and very primitive designs.

How are they made? Gabbeh rugs are handmade by the Qashqai nomads of Fars province in Iran; and originally come from southwestern Iran. Often imitated but never equaled, they are made with pure hand-spun sheep's wool dyed with natural colors such as plants and minerals.

How to recognize Gabbeh rugs? Much thicker than other Persian rugs, Gabbeh rugs are known for their high durability and have a thickness of up to 2.5 cm, making them a truly pleasant and comfortable decorative item for everyday life.
