White Moroccan rugs are mostly known for the color ivory (creamy-white) which is one of the most popular colors in Amazigh rugs. It is the purely natural color of wool (undyed).
White Moroccan rugs: They can be a visually clean, calming, neutral element in your home, adding a gentle touch to kids' bedrooms, living rooms, and in between. But most people see white Moroccan rugs and all they think about is mess to be cleaned. And we get it! If neglected, white and beige Moroccan rugs do stain with time. But if you follow easy care instructions and exercise good care, white Berber rugs can withstand the use and abuse of your household for years to come.
Don't worry, we'll walk you through why white Moroccan rugs can be a wonderful addition to your home, how to keep them clean, and some of our favorite ways to incorporate them into your space.
They're not—trust us! So many of our most-loved rooms have white Moroccan rugs unwrapped. If you're really worried about yours getting dirty, we do have a few suggestions for cleaning them. First: Consider rolling them out in less-used parts of your house, like an office or in bedrooms. That way, they're less likely to get stained by dirty shoes or the accidental spill.
Second, purchase our white Moroccan rug! All of the designs in our Moroccan area rug collection are designed to withstand whatever life throws your way. Spaghetti sauce? Red wine spill? Mud shoes after a walk through the park? Whatever is spilled and dried onto our Moroccan rugs, just blot them with a light dishwashing detergent, hand them outside for a sunbath, and they'll be like new.

First things first: When you spot a stain on your white Moroccan rug, don't panic! Getting messes off furniture and rugs is part of life, and we're going to work through it together! This is how:
For weekly maintenance, vacuum. This is a no-brainer, but it's even more important to include your white Moroccan rug in your weekly vacuuming routine. That's because dirt and dust can settle in the rug's fibers and become discolored over time. So vacuum your rug really well once a week, or hang it up and give it a good beating to make it look its best!
For spills, mud, and stain accidents: Spot clean.
Blot and don't rub! Grab a clean cloth or any piece of fabric and carefully blot the stain to absorb as much fluid as possible before using a cleaning solution. Please note that rubbing may push the stain deeper into the rug and make it harder to clean.
Clean the spot. Use your favorite rug cleaner or a solution of clear dish soap that has been diluted. Put a clean cloth into the solution, and blot at the spot once more, rubbing softly but not scrubbing. Dab at the area with a cloth and clean, warm water to remove the soap. Repeat for especially stubborn spots.
Love the all-neutral aesthetic? We do too! Rolling out a white Moroccan rug is a simple way to extend the neutral theme to your bedroom or living room, offering a warm background layer that never competes with what's drawing the room's eye. Throw in some discreet texture or pattern woven into the pile of a rug for an injection of visual detail.
If you're worried that a white Moroccan rug will be too plain in your space, look to texture to add some more visual stimulation! White Moroccan rugs come in countless lovely, warm, haptic textures—think carved geometric patterns, plush shags, tassels, and so, so much more. Try one out, and you'll be amazed at how much personality and personality it injects!
We're always seeing white Moroccan rugs unrolled in nurseries and kids' bedrooms. And we can see why! Their muted look is hand-in-hand with the sweet, soft furnishings you typically see in these types of rooms. Our tip is to try a look that incorporates shaggy, plush textures, which will be great under little feet during playtimes.
If you only want to dip your toe into the white Moroccan rug trend, here's how to do it: with a thoughtfully placed Moroccan shag rug! Roll out a large area rug like in a living room for an overall effect, or try a small Moroccan rug to add a cozy, plush touch to tiny spaces. Don't hesitate to put it wherever in the room makes you smile!
