Kelim cushion cover - Beni Ouarain

If a stain appears on your kilim cushion, start by vacuuming the stain.

The wool is naturally surrounded by lanolin, which forms a protective coating on the fibers, making it harder for stains to penetrate.

Alternatively, dab the stain gently with a damp cloth, do not rub.

In winter when it snows, you can leave the pad out in the snow for a few hours. This is the most gentle and effective way to deep clean.

Kilim rugs have been around for more than 2500 years and are still very popular in many homes today.

The word Kilim comes from the ancient word Kilim, which is the name of the weaving technique, a so-called flat weaving technique.

The hallmark of many kilim rugs is the pattern. A kelim rug is typically decorated with geometric shapes, often diagonal.

Besides being decorative, the pattern also serves to strengthen the carpet and its durability as the patterns connect and overlap.

Not least, the Berber women of the Atlas Mountains tell their stories through patterns and weaving techniques.

At Maroskan, all our kilim rugs, pillowcases and floor cushions are made from real sustainable wool from sheep in the Atlas Mountains.
