F A Q

We recommend unpacking the rug once it’s delivered. This will help minimize any creases or marks from the rug being rolled up. The rug will need to settle for a few days before any crease is removed from the shipping process.

For cleaning, if you have the space, take it outside and shake it vigorously at least once every two weeks.

If the rug is too large and/or you lack space, you can simply vacuum once a week. Do not use a vacuum with a brush, a rotating motor-head or anything that can pull the natural fibers. Vacuum on low-power and use the flat nozzle attachment. For rugs with a high pile, vacuum in the direction of the pile and lift the nozzle after every move.

Feel free to flip the rug and vacuum the reverse side to get anything that is deep in the piles as well.

We would suggest you rotate the rug every 3-6 months and/or remove furniture that is on top of the rug and vacuum the area to avoid any bacteria to form in the areas where there is limited foot traffic or sun.
If you spill anything on the rug, you can spot clean the piece. Use water and non-chemical soap and dab with a towel.

Shedding is completely normal as we use natural wool fibers. It should subside within a few weeks from delivery. If you happen to see any knot come loose throughout the rugs’ lifespan, please don’t pull on the wool. Just simply cut the part loose.

Please note, direct sunlight will fade the colors over time.

With proper care and regular cleaning, these rugs can last for decades. When dirt accumulates in the rug, the buildup can shred the fibers, causing the rug to age and weaken. We would recommend professionally cleaning the rug every five years. If you need help finding a trusted cleaner, feel free to contact us at hello@salamhello.com and we will do our best to assist.

It's definitely nice to have but is not always a need to have. A rug pad is an extra precaution for those with slippery floors and/or it keep the quality of both the rug and floor. We don’t sell rug pads but would be happy to recommend a few brands if you would like to email us at hello@salamhello.com.

It should! We photograph all our rugs with natural light. Please allow for small differences in color depending on your phone/computer's monitor settings. For our customized rugs, each rug is made entirely by hand so there will always be variations in pattern, color and exact size (up to 10 centimeter variation on either side) due to the organic nature of the materials but we strive to accurately capture the detail and color so you know what you are getting.

We do our best to visit the artisans every two to three weeks to capture the progression of the weave. You will get emailed an update either from the operations team or the artisan directly with the updates. You will get a tracking number from our team once we get the rug shipped to you within 8 - 10 to 12 weeks.

All one-of-a-kind orders are final and we do not accept exchanges or returns. For customization orders, you have 24 hours from the time of the order to make any adjustments prior to the weave beginning. Following that, orders have been delivered to artisans and will be unable to be adjusted.
