Products & Care
Regular vacuuming is recommended to prevent dirt buildup. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Professional cleaning is recommended annually. Rotate your rug periodically to ensure even wear. Specific care instructions vary by material - please refer to the product care tag.
Using a rug pad is a matter of personal/décor preference. A few benefits of using a rug pad under an area rug: keeps the rug firmly in place with no slippage; provides an extra layer of cushion, which some may prefer especially under very low pile rugs; and reduces friction on the surface of the rug which can reduce shedding, especially on wool pile rugs.
Yes, many of our rugs are available in custom sizes. Look for the "Custom Size" option on applicable product pages, or contact our customer service team for a quote on custom sizing.

Rugs
We hope that you are completely satisfied with your new Safavieh rug. We strongly suggest that you unpack your rug immediately upon receipt and allow it to "breathe." After inspecting your new rug to make sure that it is the size, shape and color that you ordered, please take note of the following inherent features common in most area rugs. Creases or waves in the pile: When you unroll your new rug you may notice some waves or creases in the pile and near the edges. This is normal, temporary, and easily remedied. These waves will flatten within 2-3 weeks as the rug relaxes in your home. You may also want to "back roll" your rug to speed the relaxation and flattening of the pile. Shedding: Wool rugs will shed for a short period of time after they are placed in your home. This is a natural aspect of using pure wool fibers in the construction of your rug. Shedding will diminish over time, especially if you follow these simple tips: use a high-quality rug pad to keep your rug in place and reduce the friction that can cause excessive shedding; vacuum a new wool rug 1-2 times per week for the first month (no beater bars); always vacuum in the direction of the pile, not against it; clip loose ends with a scissor, never pull them. New rug smell: Just as your car once had a "new car smell," a new area rug will have a distinctive smell. This is normal and temporary. The new rug smell that you might be noticing can be from the natural fibers used to make the rug as well as from shipping and packaging. Exposure to fresh air and regular vacuuming will cause this smell to fade away completely shortly after the rug has had time to air out in your home.

Many power-loomed area rugs are made using latex on the underside of the rug. Over time the latex can start to "shed," which will look like dust or fine particles of sand. Simply sweep away this dust should you notice it under your rug. Your rug is still fine and will continue to beautify your home for many years to come.
We do not use any stain guard chemicals on our rugs. If you should spill anything on your rug the stain needs to be addressed quickly and properly to avoid having it set into the pile. See our Rug Care and Cleaning Tips for more information on removing stains from area rugs.
All Safavieh rugs made using synthetic yarns such as polyester and polypropylene, are tested and certified safe for the chemical agents specified by Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX testing protocols.
Safavieh machine-made rugs (power loomed), handmade, and hand-tufted rugs may vary slightly in color, design, and size: shrinkage due to, but not limited to, environmental conditions; variations in rug designs or patterns due to the size of the rug; slight variations in colors seen online vs. actual color of a rug due to differences in devices, monitor sizes & screen resolution.
