HANDMADE RUGS
Our Handmade & 100% Jute rugs are made by hand as such they will have imperfections known as ‘Abrash’ which means natural and variable change in colour, yarn, stitching & texture that occurs in hand made rugs along with some natural fibre loss. It gives the rugs life and character and ensures you have a unique rug. If inconsistencies are a concern we advise against purchasing a hand made or 100% natural/Jute rug, instead a machine made rug from man-made materials would be more suitable. On the product page of every time we sell, We highlight to you any rug that is handmade or 100% Jute that will have imperfections and ask that you please bear this in mind before orderingWOOL RUGS
A common characteristic of all wool & genuine sheepskin rugs is shedding, this is when the fibers come away from the rug. This is a natural and common feature of wool rugs, not a manufacturing fault. Shedding: All wool rugs will shed. Shedding will subside over time, depending on traffic and wear. It typically takes 20-25 vacuums, at a minimum, to curtail shedding. Some will shed for the lifetime of the rug. We are unable to accept a wool or genuine sheepskin rug that sheds as a faulty return. If shedding is a concern we would advise against purchasing a wool rug, instead a machine made rug of man made materials would be more suitable. On the product page of every time we sell, We highlight to you any rug that is made from Wool that will shed fibers and ask that you please before this in mind before ordering. PILE FLATTENING/WEARBeing a commodity any rug with a pile will be subject to pile flattening due to use and traffic. a plush high pile rug (4 cm +) will flatten most for example our Montana range. short pile/ flat-weave rugs 0.8 cm and under will be least affected. If pile flattening is a concern, We would recommend a short low pile rug under 0.8 cm pile height made from polypropylene as the best option. Pile flattening is not a manufacturing fault, We would not replace a rug on this basis as ultimately the replacement will also flatten with use. There is no definitive answer regarding how long a Rug will last, as there are too many variables, rugs will display signs of wear & use depending on several factors, including rug placement, sunlight, traffic volume, pets, children, furniture, etc.
