Care Instructions

Your keyboard wrist rest is hand-tufted with love. Follow these simple care tips to keep it looking beautiful for years to come.


Regular Maintenance

Keep your wrist rest fresh with these easy daily habits:

  • Shake gently to remove dust and debris
  • Use a lint roller for quick clean-ups
  • Vacuum on LOW power using a nozzle WITHOUT a rotating brush
  • Handle with clean hands whenever possible

Tip: A soft fabric brush works great for regular upkeep!


Dealing with Loose Threads

Some fiber shedding is completely normal for new tufted products, especially in the first few weeks.

Important: If you notice a loose thread or loop:

  1. DO NOT pull it - This can damage the surrounding fibers
  2. Instead, carefully trim it with sharp scissors
  3. Cut the thread flush with the pile surface

Spot Cleaning Spills & Stains

Accidents happen! Here's how to handle them:

For Fresh Spills:

  1. Act quickly - Blot (don't rub!) with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel
  2. Absorb as much liquid as possible
  3. Work from the outside of the spill inward to prevent spreading

For Light Stains:

  1. Dampen a clean cloth with warm water and a drop of mild soap
  2. Gently blot the stain in the direction of the pile
  3. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue
  4. Allow to air dry naturally - avoid hairdryers or direct heat

Recommended Cleaning Products

For deeper cleaning, these products work well with tufted rugs:

  • Carpet Shampoo (for delicate fabrics)
    • Dilute in warm water (follow product instructions)
    • Apply foam only with a soft sponge
    • Let sit for 30-40 minutes
    • Vacuum once fully dry
  • Dry Foam Cleaners
    • Shake and apply foam directly on stain
    • Wait 10-15 minutes
    • Gently scrub with soft brush
    • Vacuum the residue

Always test any cleaning product on a hidden area first!


What NOT to Do

To keep your wrist rest in great condition, please avoid:

  • Machine washing - Can damage the structure and backing
  • Soaking in water - Can cause warping and damage
  • Using harsh chemicals or bleach
  • High heat from hairdryers or placing near heaters
  • Pulling loose threads - Always trim instead
  • Rubbing stains - Always blot gently
  • Rotating brush vacuums - Can pull out fibers

Storage Tips

If you need to store your wrist rest:

  • Ensure it's completely clean and dry
  • Roll it (don't fold) to prevent creases
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top
