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).
