With the vacuum height set to its highest position (or brush roll disengaged if possible), carefully vacuum the top surface of the hand-woven rug. Move the vacuum in slow, deliberate strokes, typically following the direction of the rug's pile. For fringe, use an upholstery attachment and vacuum away from the rug's body to prevent tangling. Avoid aggressive back-and-forth motions or applying excessive pressure. This gentle vacuuming removes surface dust, pet hair, and loose debris while respecting the integrity of the hand-woven fibers and patterns. Regular, gentle vacuuming (1-2 times per week in high-traffic areas) is key to preventing dirt from settling deep into the rug and prolonging its life.
