Why Moroccan rugs need special care
Moroccan rugs are made from thick, high-pile wool. That deep pile is soft underfoot, but it also traps sand, dust and pet hair far below the surface, where a home vacuum cannot reach. Cream Beni Ourain rugs show every spill, and the bright dyes in Azilal and Boucherouite rugs can bleed if they are washed the wrong way.
A Moroccan rug also holds a lot of water. In South Florida humidity, a rug that is not dried properly can smell musty or grow mildew. We wash these rugs by hand in our facility and dry them in a controlled room, so they come back clean, soft and fresh.
How we clean Moroccan rugs
- Pickup: We roll and wrap your rug at your home. Pickup and delivery are free across Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Inspection and dye test: We check the fibers, the foundation and any damage, and test the dyes for bleeding.
- Dust removal and wash: A vibrating machine removes dry soil from deep in the pile, then the rug is hand washed with a wool-safe solution.
- Dry and deliver: Climate-controlled drying and a final inspection before we bring the rug home.
Yellowing, stains and pet odor
Cream wool can turn yellow from old soap residue, sun or spills. We test first and tell you honestly what can be improved before we start. Pet urine is treated in the foundation of the rug, not only on the surface, so the odor does not return on humid days.
