CARE & MAINTENANCE OF HAND-TUFTED RUGS
Keep your hand-tufted rugs looking their best with these simple care tips.
Vacuum frequently: Shedding of excess fibres of hand-tufted rugs is normal during the initial stages. To remove excess fibres, vacuum daily until shedding is minimal. Ensure that you use an attachment with a smooth surface instead of a power head brush to prevent exacerbating the shedding process. Always approach from various angles to ensure complete dirt removal.
Effective DIY cleaning: Start by blotting the stain dry with clean paper towels. Next, spray the affected area with a cleaning solution, such as OxiClean Scotchgard, allowing the solution to penetrate the stain for optimal effectiveness. Afterwards, spray fabric softener to revive the rug’s texture. Repeat these steps, if necessary, until the stain is completely removed.
Rotate your rugs: Rotate your hand-tufted rug often to regulate the amount of sunlight and foot traffic it is exposed to.
Opt for expert rug maintenance: As your rug ages, keeping it sanitised by a professional is ideal to maintain its lustre and pristine condition. This ensures the removal of embedded dirt and contributes to the rug’s longevity.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hand-Tufted Rugs
What are hand-tufted rugs?
Hand-tufted rugs are crafted using a technique where loops of yarn are punched through the fabric to create the pile. They offer affordability, design versatility, and softness.
Are hand-tufted rugs durable?
Hand-tufted rugs are generally durable and built to withstand regular use. However, shedding is normal during the initial stages. To minimise shedding, vacuum daily until it becomes minimal. Additionally, rotating the tufted rugs periodically helps regulate sunlight exposure and foot traffic. In residential settings, professional cleaning once a year is recommended to maintain their quality.
What is the difference between woven carpet and tufted carpet?
The main difference between woven and tufted carpets lies in their construction method. Woven carpets are created by interweaving the warp and weft threads, resulting in a more intricate and durable structure. On the other hand, tufted carpets are made by punching yarn through a backing material, creating a looped or cut pile. While tufted carpets are generally less complex in construction, they offer a wide variety of designs and can be customised more easily.
