Routine vacuuming is the most important step in maintaining the life and beauty of your rug. It is recommended that you have area rugs professionally cleaned every 1-2 years to remove deep set dirt in high traffic areas. Otherwise, attentive vacuuming will significantly extend the life of area rugs. Vacuum thoroughly at least once a week with a canister vacuum. Do not engage beater bars. Rugs placed in high traffic areas of the home, office or rugs exposed to household pets should be vacuumed more frequently. Avoid vacuuming the fringes of your rug, especially those on hand-knotted rugs. Use a broom to clean fringes.

Q: Can the smaller sized rugs be cleaned in a washing machine?
submitted by Cleaning Instructions - 2 years ago
A: The label says blot liquid spills with a cloth and for hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended. As it's 80% wool and 20% cotton; I would not put in a washing machine.

Q: I am looking to purchase the ivory rug, however I saw that in one of the photos there was grey in the rug, also noted by one reviewer. Is it all ivory or is it a mix of ivory and grey?
submitted by GoodDeal - 2 years ago
A: Hello! Thank you for your question. The Ivory color is most all ivory but may have some color variations, such as grey, mixed in due to natural variations of wool. Please reach out if you have any other questions or concerns.
submitted bySAFAVIEH Product Expert - 2 years ago
Brand expert
A: Love my rug, partly because the ivory is truly ivory! If you examined closely, you might detect sporadic and VERY subtle tan or grey fibers, but from a standing position, it all looks solid ivory.

Q: Rug has a smell like feces. Do wool rugs initially have a foul smell? And need to air out?
submitted by Smelly - 1 year ago
A: We’re sorry that you had a poor experience with our product. We strive to assure that only top-quality products carry the Safavieh brand. Please see below suggestions to deal with the rug smell.
a. Air the rug out first in a clean, well-ventilated area, like a porch for a few days (a garage is not recommended unless the windows or the doors are open)
b. Turn on the air conditioner or place fans within the space where the carpet is located and keep the windows and doors open. This way will help enhance the flow of air in and out of the space.
c. If you have an air-ventilation system (ducts that exchange indoor for outdoor air) keep this running for at least 48 hours after the rug is installed. You can run it for more if the odor is still present.
d. Vacuum the rug
This rug impresses with its beautiful colors and unique texture, making it a stylish addition to any room. Guests appreciate its substantial quality and comfort, ideal for cozy spaces like bedrooms and living areas. However, some have noted sizing inconsistencies and maintenance challenges, particularly with shedding and cleaning. Overall, it offers a blend of aesthetic appeal and comfort, perfect for enhancing home decor while being mindful of upkeep.

Disappointed
The rug was beautiful color and perfect size. I purchased three sizes to finish kitchen, seating area and hallway. Actually, compared to other rugs by this manufacturer, pretty pricey. The texture was a series of tightly placed bumps. Different! Sadly these bumps where surrounded 360 degrees by trough, perfect place for 360 degrees of dirt. Too deep to sweep or vacuum the dirt. Always a mystery of hidden particles.

Pretty but sizing is off.
Love how this rug looks but like other comments have said, the sizing is off. I ordered 8x10 and it’s definitely shorter. Very frustrating when you take the time to move furniture and then realize the couch doesn’t fit on it.

DISGUSTING- strong MILDEW smell and DIRTY
Purchased 2 of the 10’x10’ silver rug. Both rugs were DISGUSTING. They were shipped with only a heavy paper wrapped around them, no plastic or anything to protect the rug. I ordered them one at a time- I only purchased a second because the first was so bad. The rug itself was dirty with a very strong musty/mildew smell. It actually triggered an asthma attack for me within minutes of opening. I purchased it a 2nd time hoping that it was just a one-off, but the 2nd one was exactly the same. Dirty and reeked of mildew. Returning both. Absolutely disgusted that a rug would be shipped like this, let alone at this price point.

Not the Dimesnions I Paid For
I ordered an 8x8 and am missing half a foot by one measurement. It’s 7’6” x 7’9”. Why would I measure for and pick out an 8x8 rug if I can’t rely on it actually being the size advertised?

Fantastic rug!!! Colors off
Really thick and comfy, but the light gray/ivory is significantly darker than the picture. For reference in my pictures, I posted the floors are dark gray hardwood. The rug next to the Safavieh is what I consider Ivory. Definitely need a rug gripper, super slippery

Soft
Love this rug, so soft to walk on. My only complaint is that I got one where there is a visible line that shows and I thought it would fix itself after time but has not. It looks like a line of material is missing.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with your purchase. We thank you for your business and hope you will consider the Safavieh brand in your future home decor purchases! Here are a few suggestions you may want to consider for reducing the creases, waves, wrinkles, and or kinks: 1. Back rolling or reverse rolling the rug - Unroll the carpet and roll it up again in the opposite direction. To keep it secure, place heavy furniture on the rug while back-rolled/reverse-rolled to keep it from unraveling. (Leave it back rolled for 1-3 days). 2. Refer to our video on how to unpack, unroll, straighten and flatten your new rug -How to Straighten an Area Rug - Safavieh- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A4L4pCNS5U 3. Refer to our additional video on how to remove creases - How to Remove Creases from Indoor-Outdoor Rugs. 4. Use indoor rug/carpet tape- tape down the corners of the rug to secure and flatten the ends of your rug. 5. For folded corners, the best thing to do is to fold the corners under and let them rest for several days. 6. Place the rug on a hard flat floor instead of a carpet while it relaxes. 7. Use a rug pad to prevent slipping and sliding – Rug Pads. 8. Use a rug gripper for hardwood flooring. 9. Vacuum the rug where the creases are located. 10. Simply allow ample time for your rug to settle. In most cases, all you need to do is lay your Safavieh rug flat, and the waves/wrinkles/creases will even themselves out. 11. Use indoor double-sided carpet tape to tape down the rug to secure and flatten the ends of your rug (This will prevent bunching and buckling). o You want to run the tape along the perimeter and put an X through the middle of the rug from corner to corner this will secure the rug. *These creases/waves/bumps/wrinkles/kinks will normally flatten out on their own so in most cases, you can simply allow ample time for your rug or runner to settle. Be patient and let those kinks work themselves out.
