The Citizenry Ahana Area Rug

While the rug is durable, its high-pile, chunky texture is best suited for lower-traffic spaces like living rooms or home offices where you want maximum comfort. The intricate weave can be more difficult to clean if placed in a high-traffic zone prone to dirt and debris.

Yes, we highly recommend using a rug pad with the Ahana. It will prevent slipping, protect your floors, and add an extra layer of cushion to the 0.5-inch pile, extending the life of the wool fibers.

The rug features a chunky, high-pile construction that feels plush and soft to the touch. It provides a cozy, substantial feel that is ideal for spaces where you might be walking barefoot or sitting on the floor.

The Ahana is Oeko-Tex certified, meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and substances, making it a safe choice for your home environment. However, because it is made of 100% New Zealand wool with a textured weave, keep in mind that pet claws may snag the loops more easily than on a flatweave rug.

For routine maintenance, vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting without a beater bar to avoid damaging the loops. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; for deeper cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning to preserve the integrity of the handwoven wool.

No, the Ahana is designed for indoor use only. The natural wool fibers are not treated to withstand the moisture, humidity, or direct UV exposure typically found in outdoor or semi-outdoor settings.
