Boujaad Carpets: Care & Maintenance

Moroccan carpets with a story

Daily maintenance

• Regular vacuuming (without a rotating brush) keeps your boujaad rug fresh and dust-free.

• Beat the carpet outside (if possible) to remove deep dust and sand.

• Rotate the rug every few months to evenly distribute wear and minimize color fading.

Stain removal

• Immediately blot stains with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can damage the wool.

• Use lukewarm water with a mild natural soap (such as Marseille soap) to clean gently.

• Test each cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Deep cleaning

• Have your boujaad carpet cleaned every one to two years by a specialist in handmade or vintage carpets.

• Avoid dry cleaning and steam appliances, as these can damage the natural fibres and colours.

Sunlight

• Boujaad rugs are often dyed with natural pigments. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

Storage

• You can store your boujaad rug folded or rolled up.

• Provide a dry, well-ventilated area.

• Add cedarwood or lavender to repel moths, and avoid plastic storage covers.
