Swedish Flat-Weave Rolläkan Rug

Taking care of a vintage flat weave rugs is pretty simple, and a little love goes a long way.

Regular upkeep: Give it a shake outside now and then to get rid of dust. A gentle vacuum works too—just avoid high suction or rotating brushes.

Spills & stains: Act fast! Blot (don’t rub) with a dry cloth. If needed, use a little mild soap and water, but don’t soak the rug.

Deep cleaning: Hand wash with cool water and mild detergent, then let it air dry flat. No machines, no harsh scrubbing.

Rotation & storage: Switching up its position every few months helps it wear evenly. If storing, roll it up and keep it in a dry place—no folding!

That’s it! A little care keeps it looking great for years.
