How to Treat Your Rag Carpets
Preferably you shake the rag carpet outdoors or vacuum it. Traditional the rag rugs are washed with a hard brush and soap on a hard surface such as seaside rocks or wooden bridges. For final rinsing brackish or non-salted water should be used.
The warp might shrink a bit so it is essential to stretch the carpet during drainage and drying. Shorter carpets can be machine washed at low temperature followed by light centrifuging. Dry the carpet horizontally (stripes vertically) in order to avoid miscolouring. Do not use tumbling machine.
