Caring for Your Zapotec Rug

Thank you for choosing a Starr Gallery heirloom.

For Rugs:

  • 100% wool retains lanolin oils for stain resistance.
  • Avoid dry cleaning. Use Oriental rug specialists if needed.
  • Vacuum with a floor setting or sweep/shake outdoors.
  • Blot spills with a clean cloth and cold water (mild soap if needed—no detergents).

Caring for Your Wall Hangings

  • Brush lightly with a lint brush as needed.
  • Flip sides periodically for equal exposure.
  • Steam lightly and vacuum both sides.
  • Check twice yearly for moth traces.
  • Use moth repellent if needed.

Your rug is a legacy. With gentle care, it will bring joy for generations.
