Beni Mguild carpet maintenance

Maintenance of Beni Mguild carpets

Taking good care of a vintage Beni Mguild rug ensures that it can last for many years to come:

Vacuuming
- Vacuum the carpet regularly (preferably without brushes) so that dust and dirt do not settle in the fibers.
- Vacuum on low suction on both sides a few times a year to keep it fresh.
Venting and shaking
- Take the rug outside a few times a year, hang it over a railing and gently tap it to remove loose dust.
- Air it out in fresh, dry weather – wool benefits from breathing.
Stain removal
- Wipe up stains quickly with a clean cloth.
- Use a mild wool soap and cold water – never harsh chemicals. Dab gently and avoid rubbing.
Professional washing
- Consider having your carpet professionally cleaned every 3-5 years. Choose a dry cleaner that has experience with real wool carpets.

The story behind Beni Mguild rugs

Origin and area

The Beni Mguild tribe belongs to Middle Atlas Mountains, especially around cities Azrou and Boujad in the Khenifra region.
The area is mountainous and cold, which has influenced the style of the blankets – they were made to retain heat in harsh winters.

Characteristics of Beni Mguild carpets

Colors: Often deep and dark shades – especially indigo blue, red, brown, purple and burgundyThe dark blue (indigo) is almost a signature feature for Beni Mguild.
Patterns: Classic diamond patterns in repetitions, but denser and more “full” than, for example, Beni Ourain.
Texture: Thick, strong and heavy wool blankets – perfect for the cold of the mountains.
Patina: Many vintage Beni Mguild have a beautiful faded surface, where the colors have worn softer over time.

Symbolism

As with other Berber tribes, the patterns are not random:

Diamonds and crosses symbolizes protection, fertility and femininity.
Repetitive shapes can be seen as a narrative about the journey of life, the cycle of nature, and the spiritual beliefs of the tribes.
