Handmade or handwoven rugs are often considered higher quality than machine-made rugs for several reasons:

• Craftmanship & Skill
• Uniqueness
• Long-Term Value
• Superior Materials
• Community Support
• Eco-Friendly

Read this blog post to learn more about our quality standards – rooted in NuStory handmade heritage.

We carry three rug sizes: 2’6”x8, 5x8 and 7’6” x 9’6” rugs.

• 2’6” x 8’ rugs are great for kitchens, hallways and small and long spaces.
• 5’x8” rugs are great for apartments, bedrooms and offices.
• 7’6” x 9’6” rugs are great for living rooms, dining rooms and bigger bedrooms.

Shedding of loose fibers may occur but it won’t last long. You’ll experience the most shedding within the first 3-6 months.

Vacuuming: We recommend vacuuming regularly on a low power setting. If you can avoid vacuums with beater brushes, do so, as those are a bit harsher. For best results, vacuum from different directions, making several passes over the area.

Spotting: Remove spills immediately. If liquid, blot with a clean, un-dyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. For hard-to-remove stains, bring in a professional cleaner.

Protecting: A rug pad is always a good idea. It prevents slipping, folding, scrunching and color transfer. We also recommend avoiding direct and continuous exposure to sunlight and using rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening. Do not pull loose ends. Instead, clip them with scissors to remove.

Repositioning: Rotate your rug every three months or so. This will promote even surface wear, extending its life.

Storing: Store your rug by rolling it front side out and wrapping in cloth for protection (no folding or plastic bags). Make sure it lives in a dry, well-ventilated area.
