Know more
The Beni Ouarain rug originates from the region of the same name, located in the Middle Atlas. Beni Ouarain refers to 17 tribes from this region, which have become sedentary. The whiteness of the wool from these areas characterizes the Beni Ouarain rugs, with their long and thick pile. These are light-colored rugs, sometimes woven with black wool. They can feature very large patterns.

How to care for a Berber wool rug?
Berber rugs are surprisingly easy to maintain. Initially, these historically rich pieces were not primarily intended for decoration but served as household covers or insulation. The exceptional quality of their weaving ensures remarkable longevity for Berber rugs.
In terms of maintenance, shake and beat your rug to remove dust. You can vacuum it, but be careful not to damage the wool. We recommend doing this only once a week and using the gentlest vacuum setting. Vacuum in the direction of the weave. If you can’t shake them, turn them over for a few hours once a month to allow deeper dust to settle out.
For stains, blot them immediately with a damp cloth; often, this is sufficient. Otherwise, use Marseille soap diluted in plenty of water and gently shampoo with your fingers until the stain disappears, then rinse with clear water.
