Faux cashmere rugs are luxuriously soft — but are they hard to clean?
Not at all. At A Print Nest, we use high-quality faux cashmere materials that are gentle to the touch yet easy to care for, making them ideal for busy homes with kids, pets, and daily messes.
Here’s how to clean and maintain your rug so it looks and feels great for years.
🧼 1. Daily Maintenance: Quick & Simple
Shake it out – For loose crumbs or dust, take the rug outside and give it a good shake.
Use a handheld vacuum – Set your vacuum to the lowest suction or use a handheld model without a beater brush to gently remove surface dirt.
⚠️ Avoid high-powered vacuums or rotary brush heads — they may damage the delicate surface fibers.
💧 2. Spot Cleaning Spills
Spilled juice? No problem.
Steps:
-
Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth (don’t rub).
-
Mix a solution of mild dish soap and cold water.
-
Dip a soft cloth into the mixture, dab the stain gently.
-
Blot again with a clean dry towel.
✅ Faux cashmere is naturally resistant to minor staining due to its tight pile structure.
🧽 3. Deep Cleaning (When Needed)
For occasional deep cleaning (every 3–6 months depending on use):
-
Use a steam mop on low heat with a microfiber pad
-
Or gently hand-wash in a tub with cold water and mild detergent
-
Always air-dry flat — never tumble dry
🌿 Bonus: All A Print Nest rugs use sublimation printing, meaning colors won’t bleed or fade with proper care.
🚫 4. What to Avoid
-
Bleach or harsh chemicals
-
Soaking the rug for long periods
-
Tumble dryers or direct heat
-
Wire brushes or abrasive scrubbers
🏡 5. Storage Tips
If you’re switching rugs seasonally or packing for a move:
-
Roll (don’t fold) your rug with the design facing out
-
Store in a breathable bag or fabric wrap
-
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
