- Spot clean with water to treat small stains. For larger more difficult stains, please consult with a professional cleaner experienced with wool

Flat Weave Rugs and Pillows
- Avoid exposure to sunlight
- Spot clean with a neutral, wool safe soap as needed
- Vacuum on lowest setting
- If your flat-weave rug has a wrinkles or creases - especially after shipping - you can remove them by ironing with a steam setting. Most irons will have a setting specifically for wool. Be sure to place a towel between the iron and the rug. If your iron does not have a steam setting, sprinkle the towel with water to produce steam. The steam will relax the threads and will help to remove the crease as you gently iron.
For ALL Momostenango rugs
- You can remove plant debris and dirt that becomes dislodged from threads with a pointed tweezer.
- Looser bits of debris and dirt that becomes dislodged can be gently vacuumed
Rattan
Rattan is meant to be kept indoors or covered, protected from the elements, when not in use
- Wipe down regularly, especially after the beach
- To avoid mildew, always make sure your rattan piece is dry before storing or covering. Rattan will grow mildew or mould if left wet or in a humid environment over time
- If mildew appears, gently scrub the rattan with soft-bristled scrub bush with a 1:3 ratio solution of vinegar and warm water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly
- Hydrate rattan at least once a year, or whenever it is looking dry. We like to use a natural beeswax based oil
- Bits of rattan may shed, splinter, or peel . Simply clip with nail clippers or thread scissors
Ata Grass
- Bits of grass may shed or splinter off over time
- Simply trim with nail clippers or thread scissors
