Artisan Care
The longevity of a luxury Sajdah Living carpet depends on the preservation of its natural structural integrity. Our artisans use only the finest natural fibers, requiring specific maintenance to maintain their architectural elegance.
Premium Highland Wool
Wool is naturally resilient. To maintain its loft, vacuum regularly with a brushless suction head to avoid pulling fibers. Rotate your mat monthly to ensure even wear across the intricate patterns.
Silk & Silk Blends
Silk fibers require a gentle touch. Avoid heavy friction and direct sunlight. To refresh the pile, use a soft-bristle silk brush to restore the natural sheen and luminous texture of the weave.
Cleaning Guide
Spot Cleaning
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub the fibers; work from outer edge inward to prevent spreading.
Mild Stains
Use a professional wool detergent or a mix of lukewarm water and white vinegar. Gently dab the area without soaking.
Deep Cleaning
We recommend professional rug cleaning every 2-3 years. Avoid steam cleaning as heat can damage silk and wool natural oils.
Preserving Shape
- Roll your mat with the pile facing inwards to prevent surface creasing.
- Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to avoid fiber fading.
- Avoid placing heavy furniture or objects on top of stored mats to preserve their pile height.
- Use a breathable cotton bag for long-term storage to allow natural fibers to ventilate.
Questions on Longevity
How often should I professionally clean my luxury carpet?
To maintain the architectural integrity and plush feel, we recommend professional dry cleaning every 12 to 18 months, depending on usage intensity.
Can I use a standard vacuum on handmade silk blends?
Use a suction-only vacuum or one with the beater bar turned off. Aggressive brushes can snag the delicate silk fibers and diminish the artisanal sheen.
What is the best way to handle liquid spills?
Blot immediately with a clean, white cotton cloth. Never rub, as this pushes the liquid deeper into the weave. For luxury mats, use only luke-warm water if needed.
How do I prevent my prayer mat from developing creases?
Proper storage is key. Always roll your mat loosely with the pile facing inwards, rather than folding it. This preserves the internal fibers and prevents permanent line marking.
