CARPET CARE

Moroccan Berber tribal carpets are functional pieces designed to warm the home, and to show off the weaver’s skills. They were first crafted by people who valued design, and believed in the power of signs and symbols. Hand spun wool provided both warmth and endurance against being trod on and rolled up and carried by nomadic tribes. Moroccan carpets are usually loosely woven, with a much lower knot count than say, Persian rugs. Caring for them should ideally reflect that loose, artisanal and flexible nature

Any authentic vintage carpet will have wear, markings or unravelling, and this is quite natural and indicates true age. Any significant damage in your carpet will have been made good by us, before it is sent to you. Further than that, the signs of wear or colour variations are an indication of your carpet’s past life! 

All but vintage rugs are likely to shed wool. This usually settles down after about two to three weeks, and is very common in Moroccan rugs

Moths are the enemies of Moroccan carpets! Regularly treat your carpet or flat weave with a moth and carpet beetle repellent, using a natural one if you want, such as lavendar oil, and keep a careful watch to check that moths and bugs have not been brought in with, for instance, old clothes or blankets. Take your carpet outside if you can, or try to move it and keep it aired, and vacuum the carpet back and front

Most Moroccan carpets benefit from being laid on a rug pad. This protects the carpet, makes it more comfortable to walk on, and maximises grip where it may be prone to slipping.  The sort of rug pad you buy depends on whether you are laying the carpet on hard (stone /wood) or soft floors (fitted carpet). You can usually cut them to the size of your rug, too. A high performance non-slip rug pad for hardwood floors should offer cushioning underfoot while allowing the rug to lay flat. A thickness of about 3mm to 5mm should be about right for a low pile vintage rug, although using a pad that is too thick can cause wrinkling in the carpet. We suggest avoiding wool felt pads, as moths like them, so pick a foam pad with a moisture barrier if possible. We can direct you to places that sell suitable pads.

For spot cleaning to remove a spill, you can use a damp cloth and a small amount of gentle detergent. There will come a time when your carpet will need a full clean, and should this be the case, hire the services of a professional cleaner, avoiding the chemicals used in most dry cleaning, which can harm the wool and affect its longevity. If you have outdoor space, you can take your carpet outside, hose it off with water, and let it dry in the warm sun. Or wash it in the bath if you have the space and strength. Do a spot test first, to check that no colours will run. Other than any times when your carpet might be airing or drying outside, keep it out of direct sunlight. Original carpets will shed a little wool over time, and drop a little carpet dust, but don't be worried about this.

We hand wash our carpets before they are made available, and will have had a light spritz of domestic moth treatment. 

 

With thanks to Maroc Tribe for the carpet care information.

1. You can only use it once, and it can't be stacked with other discount codes.

2. If you've already bought from us before and you're on the system you may not be able to use the welcome code.  

3. Finally, a welcome code is valid for 7 days so it might have expired. In most cases we can re-activate or supply a new code (if you haven't bought from us before) so please email customerservices@abigailahern.com with the subject header "Expired welcome code".

Please Note: Welcome code cannot be used against certain products (paint, wallpaper, wine, sale items etc). Full list in Terms & Conditions

I never received my welcome/newsletter sign-up discount code

You should receive this instantly (though depending on your email provider this might take a couple minutes). If not, ...

1. Please check your junk/spam folder 

2. Ensure you used the right email address (no mis-types/spelling mistakes)

If you bought from us before and you're already on our database you won't be eligible for our welcome offer

If you still can't find it and none of the above apply, you can re-enter your (correct) email address in the fields in the footer to re-generate a code.

I signed up a while back but I've lost my code

If your email address is not connected to a used welcome code we can generate you a fresh one. Please email customerservices@abigailahern.com with the subject header "Lost welcome code"

Why hasn't my discount code worked?

When entering your discount code, the basket totals should change after applying this. If prices have not changed, please triple check the following: 

  1. Is there a bundle in your basket? Discount codes can't be applied to bundles or product groups (example flowers "make it a bunch" discount bundle).
  2. Is the item in sale?  Discount codes can't be used on sale items. 
  3. Has the minimum spend been reached? Some codes have a minimum spend e.g. £50 or £100 (which will be stated with your code)
  4. Is the discount code on selected items only? 
  5. Is the discount code registered to the email address being used to place the order? 
  6. Has your discount code expired? All codes will have an expiry date on the communication/email.

Can I use more than one discount code?

Typically no, only one discount code can be used per order. However, discount codes can be applied on some multibuy offers, in conjunction with rewards points and gift cards.

How long are gift cards valid for?

12 months from date of issue.

I have an Abigail Ahern gift card. Can I use it online as well as in store?

You can indeed. At checkout you'll see a box where you can enter your gift card code.

If the balance available on your gift card is less than the total cost of your order, you will be prompted to choose an additional payment method to cover the difference.

If you still have money left on your gift card, you can spend the remaining balance on more purchases in store or online.

How do I add a new shipping address?

Log in to your account (person icon). You'll be taken to the My Account page.

In the top-right, click the chevron and then Profile. You'll be able to add and change your default address.

Note: If you need to change the delivery address AFTER an order is placed please email customerservices@abigailahern.com and we'll do our best to update the fulfilment center unless the order has already been dispatched.

I've forgotten my account password, what should I do?

Don't panic! Go to log in and click Forgot your password? Then simply follow the instructions to reset your password.

Do you ship to the US?

Yes we can arrange many items to be shipped to the US (though customers are liable for customs duties). More delivery details can be found here.

Better still, we'll be launching our US site abigailahern.net in November 2025 which will stock our famous botanicals for quick delivery across the US.
