Product Details
Where are BENI Rugs made?
We are proud to be the first vertically-integrated rug company in Morocco. We own and operate our own weaving and washing facilities which allows for innovation and sustainability.
What materials does BENI Rugs use?
Beni Rugs are woven from the very highest quality, 100% wool available. The wool is locally and humanely sourced in Morocco from live sheep only.
Will my rug shed?
The answer is yes, slightly. All natural fiber rugs will shed slightly, especially in the beginning. Nothing is wrong with your rug, it's simply the nature of the material and the construction. For the rugs in our collection that can shed in the beginning, they are thoroughly washed in a proprietary process to eliminate as much shedding as possible before shipment. Regular vacuuming in the first couple of weeks will help to quickly reduce shedding.
Do you sell your rugs on other websites?
Our website is our flagship store, designed to welcome you and share our vision of handcrafted rugs of uncompromising quality, woven in fair-trade certified working conditions. Unfortunately, other sites and sellers frequently copy our designs and even use our photos to sell their rugs.
The only other places online you will a selection of authentic BENI Rugs are: Design Within Reach, The Expert, and The Invisible Collection.

Care
How durable is a Beni rug?
Wool is a naturally resilient, liquid-repelling material. Our rugs are objects crafted to last, and with proper cleaning are meant to last for years.
How do I clean my Beni rug?
To help extend the life of your rug, we recommend avoiding motorized attachments with beater brushes. Lower the power of the suction if possible. Vacuum side to side (parallel to the tassels or bindings of the rug). Your movements should be slow and steady in order to suck up as much dirt and dust as possible. Request a detailed care guide by emailing us at bonjour@benirugs.com.
If you need to spot clean your rug, do so with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Wool naturally repels liquids at first contact so treat it quickly with a dry cloth and follow up with water and detergent and your rug should be fine.
After a few years (or more serious soiling), we recommend having your rug professionally cleaned. Look for a quality professional cleaner in your part of the world to help reinvigorate your Beni rug. We have recommendations in LA and NYC - just drop us a line to bonjour@benirugs.com for an introduction to our preferred partners.
What are Beni rugs made from?
Beni Rugs are made the very highest quality, 100% live wool available. The wool is locally and humanely sourced in Morocco. We partner with a 3rd generation wool expert to create custom color palettes that are exclusive to Beni.
Will my rug shed?
Beni Rugs are made from 100% natural wool . All natural fiber rugs will shed slightly, especially in the beginning. Don't worry! Nothing is wrong with your rug. It's simply the nature of the material and the construction. That being said, we put our rugs through a very intensive washing and drying process (sometimes up to 5 times per rug) to eliminate as much shedding as possible before shipment. Regular vacuuming in the first couple of weeks will help to quickly reduce shedding.
