• Wash prior to use.
• Cold gentle machine wash with like colours and fabrics (do not mix with towels or other items likely to leave lint).
• Do not wash with sharp-edged clothing accessories such as metal zippers, buttons and hooks. 
• Use a mild eucalyptus based detergent (such as a wool friendly detergent – commonly found in the supermarket) that doesn’t contain optical brightening agents to ensure your linen doesn’t weaken or discolour over time. 
• Fabric softener is not required (and can actually shorten the lifespan of your linen!) As linen is a natural fabric, it will soften over time on its own.

• To keep these hand-crafted pieces at their plush best, we recommend Dry Cleaning only.
  
• Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, taking extra care on delicate fabrics such as velvet, tufting or fringing.

• These are beautifully soft with a wonderful stretch, we recommend washing gently on a cold cycle, and avoiding washing with any items with zips, clasps or sharp embellishments that may catch the delicate fabric.
• Line dry in shade, or tumble dry on a low setting.
• Do not dry clean and do not bleach these beautiful blankets.

Our beautiful cushions showcase a wide range of stunning techniques including embroidery, tufting, chain-stitching, punch-needling and many more! Due to this range of techniques, we do always suggest referring to each cushion’s care label before proceeding with any cleaning. These can be found inside the cover, by unzipping and peeking inside! For our favourite pre-filled cushions (eg. the iconic Rylie Round Cushions) you will find the care label alongside the SxC label on the seam.

Cushion Inserts

• For our gorgeous feather filled cushion inserts, you may like to wash these in a gentle warm machine wash, and tumble dry on low. To keep your inserts super fluffy and lush you can use dryer balls!
• We also recommend airing them outside on a sunny day for a little refresh between washes!
• Our pre-filled cushions without removable covers are spot clean only.

Each design of rug from SxC will be slightly different and some may be made from cotton, jute etc. so we recommend checking the care label for specific details on how to best care for your rug or reach out to gday@sageandclare.com for helpful tips prior to, or after, purchasing!

Many of our rugs are made from 100% wool. Some shedding is to be expected, but there are a few tips to keep your rug looking beautiful for longer! 

• To reduce shedding we suggest vacuuming it no more than once a week. Gentle suction and going in the direction of the pile and not against it are best to keep the pile looking gorgeous!
• We also suggest placing the rug in a low traffic area, as lots of movement and activity can only increase the amount of shedding that can occur.
• As our rugs do not have a non-slip backing, if you’re planning to place your gorgeous rug on a smooth surface such as polished floorboards or tiles, we recommend purchasing a non-slip underlay! This not only ensures your rug stays in place, but it adds a beautiful extra softness to walk on!
• Spot clean, or take to your preferred professional rug cleaner.

Our fabulous bean bags are lovingly made withbeautiful prints and weaving techniques, each with their own cotton insert to hold the beans! For care details you can check the label inside of the cover or follow the instructions below to keep it beautiful! 

• Remove the cover carefully for washing. 
• Cold, separate machine wash on a gentle cycle.
• Line dry in shade, or tumble dry on a low setting.
• Do not tumble dry. Do not bleach. Do not dry clean.
• Fill for our bean bags does need to be purchased separately. We recommend 2-3 bags of fill, approx. 250L.
• All of our bean bags and inserts are made without zipper pulls as per Australian safety standards. The easiest way to get your bean bag open is to use either a paperclip or a safety pin threaded through the zipper, once your bag is filled and ready for use these can then be removed!
• To fill your beanbag, pop the insert inside the cover, ensuring your corners and zips line up, and then fill (easiest with two people!) This helps alleviate any pressure on the stitching around the zipper on the cover.

• Our gorgeous wall hangings are spot clean only. Where required they can be softly dusted.

Our bath mats are lovingly hand tufted, making them full and lush. This does mean that they require a little extra love and care…

• Wash them separately and in a wash bag or pillowcase with a mild eucalyptus based detergent. Please note that these pieces are prone to shedding in their first few washes.
• To fluff them up after a wash, give them a shake, tumble dry on low.
• Our bath mats don’t have a rubber/non-slip backing, however the weight of the tufting provides a beautiful base!
• Please ensure these beauties are hung between uses, either on a towel rail or over a shower rail with lots of airflow to help them dry!
• We suggest emptying your washing machine and dryer filter before and after washing/drying your Sage x Clare Bath Mat. 
• All of our Tula Bath Mats are hand made with a whole lotta love. One of the best things is that each letter is created by a different artisan. Each bath mat is passed down a production line and there is one person responsible for creating each letter, so it takes 10 magical artisans to create each Nudie Rudie Bath Mat!
