Alexander Hand Knotted Oushak Rug

Wool is a top choice; it's naturally resilient, stain-resistant, and soft underfoot. Jute and cotton are also excellent for relaxed spaces, offering texture and breathability. All are biodegradable and sustainably sourced.

Wool rugs resist dirt and moisture well, while flatweaves like cotton and jute benefit from regular vacuuming and spot cleaning. For best results, avoid harsh chemicals and rotate rugs seasonally to maintain even wear.
