Long wool pile needs space to dry
A flokati is a Greek wool rug with a very long, shaggy pile. It is soft and warm, but the deep pile holds a lot of dust and a lot of water. If it is washed at home or dried too slowly, it can mat, smell musty or grow mildew in South Florida humidity.
We wash flokatis by hand in our facility, rinse them fully, and dry them in a controlled room. Then the pile is shaken and fluffed so the rug returns to its full, soft look.
How we clean flokati rugs
- Pickup: We roll and wrap your rug at your home. Pickup and delivery are free across Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Inspection and testing: We check the pile and the backing and look for stains, matting or pet damage.
- Dust removal and wash: Dry soil is removed first, then the rug is washed by hand with a solution chosen for its fiber.
- Dry and deliver: Climate-controlled drying and a final inspection before we bring the rug home.
Matting and pet odor
Matted areas usually loosen after a full wash and fluffing. Pet urine is treated through the base of the rug, so the odor does not return on humid days.
