Welcome to
The felted Fleece Collective Rug Care Guide
Ways of keeping your felted fleece rug in tip top condition.
Hand-washing:
Fill a tub with lukewarm water (not exceeding 30°C). Add a wool or silk detergent. Carefully immerse the rug face down. Gently swish it around and let it soak for about an hour. Rinse with cold water but do not swish it this time. Spin it quickly to remove excess water or hang on line to drip dry.
Machine Washing:
If you are unsure about your washing machine, we recommend washing your rug by hand. Washing machines can vary, and there is a risk that your rug may shrink if the cycle is too strong or the temperature is too warm. If you do choose to wash your rug in a machine, please set it to the hand wash / wool / silk cycle on a cold wash only. Select the gentlest cycle available, as different machines can behave differently.After removing the rug from the machine, shake it vigorously and use your fingers to gently separate and fluff any flattened or clumped locks. Hang to dry naturally.
Please note that we do not recommend brushing your rug.
You can also give your fleece a snow bath, an old Nordic method of cleaning wool. Simply place the rug on clean snow and gently work the snow through the fleece. The cold temperature helps lift dirt while refreshing the fibres — you may be surprised at how effective it is.
Please note: washing instructions are offered as guidance only. As washing machines vary, we cannot be responsible for shrinkage or damage caused during machine washing.
