Special Notes
• Spot clean only — water weakens jute fibers
• Keep dry to prevent mildew
Additional Care Tips
- • Spot clean only — jute weakens significantly when wet
- • Brush with a stiff natural-bristle brush to remove surface dirt
- • Air dry in a well-ventilated area if it does get damp; never machine wash
- • Avoid prolonged sun exposure which can make jute brittle and discolored
- • Store in a cool, dry place — humidity promotes mold and fiber breakdown
