Each Merida Studio rug is a work of design and craftsmanship, made to evolve over time. Like a painting or a sculpture, it can be conserved and restored by those who understand its materials and methods. Our knowledgeable team is equipped to guide you through everyday care as well as more extensive conservation when needed.

In choosing a Merida Studio rug, you’ve chosen something made to last—not just in quality, but in meaning. Our rugs are not trends: they are pieces to live with, care for, and eventually pass on.

This is the art of conservation—carried forward, one generation at a time.

Most spills and marks can be cleaned with simple soap and water. We strongly discourage chemical treatments, which can strip or damage the natural fibers. Instead, think of care as a quiet ritual—gentle, consistent, and lasting.

When spills occur, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For most stains, a mild soap diluted in water will suffice—apply gently and blot, never rub.

To maintain your rug’s surface, vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding beater bars or rotating brushes. Over time, rotating your rug occasionally will help promote even wear.

For most households, simple care is all that’s needed. Regular vacuuming and the occasional spot cleaning with mild soap and water will keep your rug looking its best through daily living—whether it’s a glass of wine spilled at dinner, a pet accident, or the natural wear of footsteps across a room.

But there are times when a rug needs something more than routine care. Restoration refers to a deeper, professional clean that revives your rug after heavier use. This is most often required in commercial or public spaces where rugs receive constant traffic, but it may also be necessary in the home—after a lively gathering, or for an entryway rug that has weathered a muddy season.

Restoration returns your rug to its original shine, lifting away dirt and wear that ordinary care cannot. When the time comes, our team can guide you to trusted professionals who specialize in natural fibers, ensuring your rug is cleaned with the same respect and expertise with which it was made.

Life happens, and even the most durable rugs can encounter more drastic accidents. When they do, our team offers expert consultation to determine the best path forward.

We offer expert repair and restoration services for all Merida Studio rugs. From minor snags to more significant conservation efforts like stains and burns, our team approaches each project with deep material knowledge and respect for the original craftsmanship.

Our repair services range from reweaving and structural rug repairs to careful edge restoration. We also provide assessments for long-term conservation, ensuring that your rug can be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come.

We embrace a philosophy akin to kintsugi—the Japanese art of mending ceramics with gold—where a repair does not erase the story of a piece, but becomes an intentional addition to its beauty. In this way, every restoration honors both the craft of the original weaving and the life the rug has lived, ensuring it continues to hold meaning for generations to come.
