Jute and burlap are plant-fiber fabrics sensitive to moisture. For De Yute Fabrics jute textiles, we recommend dry cleaning rather than washing with water, by hand or in a machine. Moisture can cause shrinkage, distortion, loss of finish or color changes. Check product-specific care guidance or consult a professional dry cleaner.

How to clean jute without water
- Gently shake the fabric in a ventilated area.
- Remove dust with a low-powered vacuum and a soft attachment without pulling the threads.
- Use a soft brush for dry surface debris, testing a hidden area first.
- For stubborn stains, ask a professional dry cleaner to assess the jute fiber and its finish.
Can you wash jute with water or in a washing machine?
We do not recommend washing jute with water, even cold water, by hand or in a machine. Wetting and agitation can cause shrinkage, distortion or fraying. Seek advice from a professional dry cleaner for deeper treatment.
Removing stains from burlap
Carefully remove dry surface debris without vigorous rubbing. Do not apply water, soap, ammonia, bleach or stain removers directly to jute. For persistent stains, use a professional dry-cleaning service that can confirm compatibility with the fiber and finish.
Storage and care
Store the fabric clean and completely dry in a well-ventilated area away from damp conditions and excessive heat. Do not soak, wring or tumble-dry it.
