Designed by Maja Johansson Starander for Kasthall
Maja Johansson Starander is educated at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art in London. When completing her master's degree, Maja contacted Kasthall's then lead designer, Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg. They built instant chemistry and shared the same design philosophy. Thus, she decided to leave the design capital of London, moved to the small town of Kinna, and began working as an in-house designer at Kasthall in 2013.

CARE ADVICE WOVEN RUGS
All rugs retain their appearance and shape for longer if you remove dirt and stains regularly. If you have a light, single-colour rug you will naturally need to clean it more often than a darker, patterned rug. Shaking or beating a rug can damage the warp, so we recommend that you vacuum and air your rug instead. It is also a good idea to use a rug underlay to prolong the life of your rug and prevent it from slipping on any type of floor.
VACUUM FREQUENTLY
Effective vacuuming is the easiest and most environ- mentally friendly cleaning method. It is also the most economical. When you vacuum regularly you remove all the loose dirt and dust.
ROTATE THE RUG
To get a more even exposure to sunlight and wear, we recommend that you rotate the rug regularly.
REMOVE STAINS
When it comes to removing stains or washing profession- ally, we recommend that you read our stain guide for advice. Feel free to contact us if you are unsure or have any questions

Detailed information on different types of stains and how to remove them is given below. The amount of water used must be carefully controlled.
All fat-containing products, e.g. asphalt, colouring crayons, lipstick, oil, shoe polish, soot, cream and cooking fat:
Scrape away as much of the stain as possible using a knife, spoon or similar.
Use a carpet shampoo. When using a carpet shampoo, you should test a small, hidden piece of the rug. This is to make sure that the shampoo does not bleach or damage the rug. Make sure that you follow the product instructions.
Beer, blood, chocolate, colored soda, coffee, egg, fruit, fruit syrup,
ice cream, juice, red wine, urine
and vomit:Soak up the liquid using a highly absorbent cloth (e.g kitchen paper, a diaper or a towel). Do not rub the stain, as it can go deeper into the rug.
Dilute the remaining stain using a small quantity of warm water (for blood and egg, use cold water). Soak up, repeat and allow to dry.
Remove any remainders using a white cloth. Dampen with a mixture of warm water and a little ph-neutral washing up liquid. Follow up with clean water and soak up.
Chewing gum and candle wax:
Chewing gum: Cool the stain using ice cubes. Scrape up as much of the stain as possible using a knife, spoon or similar, without damaging the fibres. Then vacuum around the stain.
Candle wax: Place 4 layers of kitchen paper on the stain and iron at medium heat, so that the paper soaks up the candle wax.
If you are unsure what to use on your rug or have questions about how to care for your rug, please contact us. We will be able to help
Use a professional cleaner:
We recommend that the rug is cleaned by a professional cleaner, using the extraction method on a flat surface. The quantity and temperature of the water will depend on the material and pile length. Good ventilation during the drying process is essential. Shrinkage will be about 3–5 %.
Kasthall’s rugs are not to be machine-washed or dry-cleaned.
