How to care for your new Shear Joy Rug

Always use a good quality underlay below this rug to prevent movement and to protect the rug.

Vacuum

Vacuum the rug using suction only vacuum at least once a week to remove dust and to prevent particles becoming embedded in the pile. When using the vacuum, use it with care, go slow.

Prevent Spills

Remove spills immediately. Blot spills with a paper towel or colourless cloth, do not wipe or scrub. Spot clean gently with a small amount of liquid detergent and warm water. Professional cleaning is recommended for tough stains.

Regular care

  • Regular airing is recommended.
  • Do not soak, bleach or machine wash this rug.
  • Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to reduce uneven wear & tear.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the rug is completely dry before packaging away to prevent mould and mildew.

Unique

Our handmade rugs are made by skilled artisans. Each rug is unique and will have subtle colour variations due to the melange dyed yarn. Loose fibres, or 'sprouts', are a normal part of the break-in process of handmade wool rugs. Shedding is normal and will vary on the construction of the rug. Shedding will usually subside over time, though some wool rugs may continue to shed mildly for the lifetime of the rug.

      Durable & Soft

      Very happy with the rug. Very heavy/durable but still soft underfoot. Colours are great and add a nice contrast to darker carpet.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does RWS and ZQ mean?

    RWS is an internationally recognised voluntary standard that addresses the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on. A product that states the RWS logo means all sites beginning with the wool farmers, factories and Koala are certified.

    The certification ensures mulesing is strictly prohibited, best practices in the management and protection of the land, and sheep are treated with respect to the Five Freedoms. More information can be found RWS wool ZQ is an on-farm certification programme established by NZM in 2007 and was the first of its kind in the world to require growers to meet strict standards with regard to animal welfare, environmental integrity, social responsibility, colour quality, and traceability.

    These 2 standards are aligned to maximize the positive impact of both programmes on the environment, farming communities, and livestock.

    Does mulesing still occur on farms?

    During our development process, we conducted an in-depth research into responsible wool. There are countries around that world that still practice mulesing. One of the main reasons why Koala have chosen to use NZ wool is that NZ officially banned the practice of mulesing in October 2018.

    For more information, NZ Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).

    Are sheep harmed in the process of harvesting wool?

    Wool is harvested through a process called shearing. (It's like getting a 'number 4' haircut.)

    Shearers are highly skilled people and pride themselves on careful handling of the sheep. They leave a good covering of wool on the sheep, to keep them warm. Machine shears are the most popular tool for shearing, as they are fast and efficient, for minimal stress on the animal.

    Sheep have been bred for thousands of years to grow wool, therefore shearing is not just about harvesting wool — it's also about keeping the animals comfortable, relieving them from having to endure the hot summer months with a heavy fleece.

    As part of being certified, the farms are third party audited including random audits conducted during the shearing season.
