carpet maintenance
Vacuum the Berber carpet regularly and take it outside and shake it once in a while. Stains are removed by soaking up the stain as quickly as possible with a cloth and then dabbing the stain with a damp cloth. The carpet is 100 % pure wool and is naturally covered with lanolin on each fiber, which means that stains do not penetrate into the carpet. Should we be lucky enough to get snow one winter in Denmark, then finally lay out the blanket in the white snow. This will thoroughly clean the carpet – completely naturally.
The story behind Berber carpets
Berber rugs are world-renowned for their beauty and ethnic touch. The blankets were invented by Berber tribes many years ago to keep them warm during the winter. They traveled in the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara desert and in the tropical forests of Morocco. So it was in order not to freeze that they started weaving these carpets, which are named after them today. After this, the carpets became a way of preserving a tribe's heritage by leaving signs/traces through the Berber characters woven into the carpets. Therefore, there are different Berber signs on each rug. These Berber signs are not only beautiful design patterns but very important for the preservation of the history of the Berber tribes.
