Vacuum regularly with low suction to maintain pile and remove loose dirt. For spot cleaning, blot spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth β do not rub. For deeper cleaning, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent (no bleach). Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not iron. Rotate the rug every 6 months for even wear. A rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and extend the life of the rug.

Momeni Leiden β 100% Wool Slate Area Rug, 8' Γ 10'
Slate is the color that sits where grey and blue refuse to commit. Depending on the light, the Leiden in slate reads closer to a stormy blue-grey (north-facing rooms, cool daylight) or a warmer stone grey (south-facing rooms, warm afternoon light). At 8' Γ 10', this quality becomes a room-design asset: the rug adapts rather than dictating. Pair it with white linen drapery and it reads almost blue. Pair it with warm leather and amber wood tones and it reads almost taupe. The room decides.
100% wool construction means the Leiden has a pile with actual texture β the kind that shows footprints and vacuum lines in the most satisfying way, and that cushions a living room floor for the years, not seasons.
Leiden Slate vs. Standard Grey Rugs
Most grey rugs are either warm (leaning beige) or cool (leaning blue). Slate reads differently depending on what surrounds it, which makes the Leiden more versatile than a wool rug this size has any right to be. It's the grey for people who have been burned by choosing the wrong grey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Wool is a natural fiber that is hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and free of the synthetic chemicals found in many man-made rugs. It is naturally flame-resistant and does not off-gas VOCs. Wool rugs are a great choice for homes with pets and young children.
Some shedding is normal for new wool rugs β this is loose fiber from the manufacturing process, not a defect. Shedding typically stops after 4β6 weeks of regular vacuuming. Vacuum on a low suction setting without a beater bar to reduce shedding and preserve the pile.
Blot (do not rub) spills immediately with a clean white cloth. Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with cold water and gently dab the stain from the outside in. Rinse with cold water and blot dry. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, or steam cleaning as these can damage wool fibers.
The most common rule is to leave 18β24 inches of bare floor around the rug in a living room. For a seating area, all front legs of the furniture should sit on the rug. In a bedroom, an 8Γ10 or 9Γ12 rug typically works under a queen or king bed with enough coverage on the sides. Not sure? Email us at [email protected] and we will help you choose the right size.
Yes β a rug pad is strongly recommended for safety and longevity. A pad prevents the rug from slipping on hard floors, protects your floor from scratches, adds cushioning underfoot, and helps the rug lay flat. It also extends the life of the rug by reducing wear from friction. We recommend a non-slip felt or rubber pad cut 1 inch smaller than your rug on all sides.
We offer free 30-day returns on all orders. If you are not completely satisfied, contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of delivery to initiate a return. Items must be in original, unused condition. We will arrange free pickup and issue a full refund β no restocking fees, no hassle.
