Regular vacuuming will keep dirt from getting into your rug pile, extend the life of your rug, and keep the air in your home healthier.

It is recommended, that you get your rugs cleaned professionally once a year to avoid the accumulation of dust and other allergens.

Spills

Spills are unavoidable, but when they do happen, the best thing is to clean them up right away by blotting most of the liquid with a clean white towel or paper towel. It's important not to rub the surface of the rug, as it can send the spilled liquids further into the pile.

Make a mix of dish soap a bit of white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle, if you don't have a spray bottle in a bowl, and use this mixture to blot the stain. Follow up with clean water and a new towel to get the soapy water out. Keep blotting the surface to get as much water out as possible.

Our are rugs are made of New Zealand wool, which contains lanolin. Wool naturally repels water and dirt, making it more stain resistant than other fibres.

These beautiful rugs are made in India, and it takes up to 2-3 months to complete the work. The wool used for rugs goes through a lot of transformation before you unroll it in your home. It is carded and spun, coloured to your specifications, dried in the sunlight and made into balls.

The design is mapped out on a paper that is to scale with the colours specified on the design, and transferred onto canvas . Once the colour map is completed the tufting or knotting process can begin. When the tufting or knotting is completed, your rug goes under several washes with water and chemicals, carving if requested, and an inspection.
The easiest way to tell a hand-knotted rug from a hand-tufted rug is to turn it around and check the reverse side of it. If you see a cotton backing, that is a tufted rug. If you see the design and the individual knots on the reverse side of the rug, it's a hand-knotted rug. Hand-knotted rugs are flexible and feel much denser and heavier than hand-tufted rugs. You can fold them any way you like without damaging them, but a hand-tufted rug is stiff and can only be rolled, or the backing will wrinkle. There is a big difference between the life expentancy of the two rugs. While hand-tufted rugs will last for about 10 years, hand-knotted rugs are heirloom quality.

Hand-Tufted Rug Construction

Hand-Tufted rugs are made up of different parts. The design is drawn onto a canvas and the weaver inserts individual strands of wool into the canvas with a tufting gun. Once the design is completed the canvas with the wool is secured to a cotton backing with latex.

Hand-Knotted Rug Construction

Hand-knotting a rug is accomplished by skilled artisan weavers. There are many types of knots in rug making, depending on the traditions of the country they come from. Our hand-knotted are rugs are constructed using Tibetan weave. The weaver places a metal rod in front of the warp (vertical) strands on the loom and wraps the wool yarn around two of the warp strands and the rod. When the row is complete the wool is cut. When you look at Tibetan rugs you can see the straight lines in the construction which were created by using the rod in the weaving process.
The white powder under your rug is latex, and its powdery mess is a common occurrence with hand-tufted rugs. Hand-tufted rugs are constructed from different parts that are "glued" together. There is a canvas with the design mapped out that the wool strands are inserted into it using a tufting gun. This is a quick and inexpensive way of making a plush rug with amazing colours and endless design possibilities.

Once the design is complete, they coat the canvas with latex and attach a cotton backing to the rug. The problem with hand-tufted rugs is, that they don't last for a long time. While hand-knotted wool rugs can withstand the passing of years, latex can't. Sooner or later it will start breaking down and that's the powdery substance you see under your rug. It is harmless, unless you're allergic to latex, but it can be annoying. Simple vacuuming will keep it in check. You can also turn the rug upside down and vacuum the back once in a while. Using a rug pad will also help keep the powder away from your floors.
This rug can be purchased in additional sizes. The available sizes might not be the same for all rugs, it depends on how the design fits different dimensions.
