Product care & Tips

Cushion care guide

The first point of call is always the care label located on all products by either a hang-tag or label sewn into the seam of your cushion cover. Always refer to your care label before attempting any cleaning!

Our advice is given in good faith and should not be considered a guarantee. If in any doubt, you should always consult a professional cleaning company.

Weave cushions come with either a microblend WeaveFill insert or a feather insert. Although they both have a quality 100% cotton Japara cover and look very similar, they have different washing instructions due to their filling.

throw care guide

Weave throws are knitted or woven from premium cotton, wool or wool blend fibres. Care instructions will differ depending on the composition and style of the throw.

Always refer to the care label before attempting any cleaning! Treat spills and stains as soon as possible to make stain removal easier and minimise the risk of permanent damage.

clean your cotton throw

For cleaning 100% cotton knitted throws, such as Solano, we recommend the following:

hm – machine wash

  • Gentle cold machine wash.
  • Wash with like colours.
  • Lie flat to dry.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Cool iron on reverse.
  • Dry-cleanable.

cleaning your wool throw

Don’t be tempted to take matters into your own hands, we recommend dry-cleaning our wool and wool blend throws. 

Wool fibre is naturally odour and stain resistant, so these throws may not need to be cleaned often. Wool fibres are however sensitive to water temperature and are prone to shrinkage and felting, so they do require dry cleaning. 

hd – dry clean only

  • Dry-clean only 

rug care guide

Rugs are an investment piece, so we have put together a rug care guide with tips and advice to help improve their longevity. Below is a simple guide for caring for your rug. For more information, take a look at our Rug Care and Maintenance Tips in our Journal here.

If you would like to download our Rug Essentials PDF click here, or see below for detailed advice.

vacuuming

It is best to vacuum your rug before any dirt is embedded, ideally twice a week in the first few months, on low suction power.

shedding and pilling

All Weave rugs are made from natural fibres that can result in shedding and pilling. This is a natural characteristic, and the removal of any loose fibres can be rectified with regular vacuuming and with a good quality vacuum cleaner that has a flat head attachment to avoid agitating the fibres.

The amount a rug sheds or pills can alter due to traffic, moving furniture, vacuuming or other mechanical agitation. Rugs should be regularly rotated to ensure even wear.

spots and spills

viscose and bamboo silk rugs

If your rug contains any viscose or bamboo silk, follow this care instruction.
Do not spot clean or use liquid cleaners (including water) on viscose rugs.

Viscose rugs need to be dry cleaned using a professional rug cleaner. Initial spills should be blotted (be sure not to scrub, as this will damage the pile) immediately with a paper towel or colourless cloth. Then arrange a professional rug cleaner for a dry cleaning service as soon as possible.

wool, cotton and jute rugs

We recommend treating spots and spills immediately with warm water and a paper towel. If the stain persists, contact a professional rug cleaner as soon as possible. Do not scrub rugs as it may cause permanent pile damage.

sun exposure

Sun exposure for extended periods of time may cause fading. We recommend regularly rotating your rug to minimise colour change.

pop-ups

Pop-ups are another completely normal characteristic of flat-woven rugs. A pop-up is simply a loose thread. Our rugs are all handwoven where a craftsman weaves the yarn back and forth across the loom until they run out of yarn. In all carpet and rug weaving, these threads are tucked in as the new piece of yarn is started.

Basically, a pop-up is when the very end of the yarn works its way loose. They should not be considered a fault, or a reason for return. Pop-ups can either be left alone, gently cut off, or pushed back into the structure of the rug.

outdoor rug care

HRO - Outdoor Rug

We recommend to shake or vacuum your outdoor rug regularly with low suction power. Avoid exposure to heavy rain or stagnate water and do not vigorously scrub rugs as it may cause permanent pile damage. Treat spots and spills immediately — to remove excess moisture, use a clean dry cloth. Mild detergent may be used but we suggest to do a spot test to check colourfastness. When cleaning your rug with a mild detergent and water, be sure to gently brush both sides of the rug. Repeat as necessary and rinse with clean water. Dry in sunlight — make sure both sides are thoroughly dried. Regularly rotate your rug to ensure even wear. Store your rug in winter months or severe weather conditions.

bedding care guide

Always refer to your care label before attempting any cleaning! Our advice is given in good faith and should not be considered a guarantee. If in any doubt, you should always consult a professional cleaning company.

cleaning bedding linen

Our Ravello bed linen range carries a HM care label. Care labels can be tricky to navigate so here is a simple rundown of what to do and not to do with our bedding care label. Always treat spills and stains as soon as possible to make stain removal easier and minimise the risk of permanent damage.

washing

All products from our luxurious linen Ravello range can be machine washed. We recommend a cold, gentle setting to ensure your linen is handled carefully. Be sure to wash with like colours and remove as soon as the wash cycle is complete.

drying

Once your linen products are washed, it’s important to give them a good shake to soften and release any creases. We recommend lying them flat or hanging them in the shade to air dry — please do not tumble dry as this can cause the linen to shrink. Wait until they are completely dry before storing. Ravello is also dry-cleanable.

ironing

For clean, crisp, and crease-free linen, we recommend ironing your Ravello products using a cool iron on reverse.
