Authentic Dhurrie rugs woven in the true nomadic tradition in which they originated are most often made of a combination of the following natural materials: Cotton and wool. Weavers wove with materials readily available to them so it is less common to find nomadic silk Dhurrie rugs. It is very important that rugs be kept clean.

The best way to clean rug is how the first users of rug cleaned them - by shaking them and beating them. Shaking and beating removes dirt and dust that can settle in between fibers. If you are not able to shake or beat your rugs, you may vacuum them on a low suction setting, but you must take special care not to vacuum any loose yarns or delicate weaving that can damage your rug. In addition, it is important never to vacuum your rug's fringes as these are the most vulnerable to damage.

In addition to shaking, beating, or when possible, vacuuming your rugs, it is also important to occasionally rotate your rug. How often you need to do this depends on how high traffic area your rug is in and how much exposure to sun your rug gets. Occasionally rotating your rug ensures that your rug will be exposed to the sun's rays more evenly and any color muting will be more consistent. Also, rotating your rug will ensure that any wear to your rug from repeated patterns of foot traffic will be more evenly dispersed.

If you do not walk with shoes on in your home, do not have pets, and consistently follow the tips above, it is recommended that you have your rugs professionally cleaned about every four to five years. If you do have pets or walk with shoes on in your home, you should send your rugs to a professional cleaner every year. A professional cleaning will enable to thoroughly clean your rug and help you preserve it for next generations. In addition, if you notice that your rug's fringes are unraveling or an area has become worn and the warp and weft are damaged, an expert rug restorer will be able to reweave it and either restore or repair it to its original state.
