does hand-tuffted rugs conceder as handmade?
Answers: 2 Views: 323 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

A “hand-tufted rug” is created without tying knots at all, but rather using a “tufting gun” and pushing wool or acrylic yarn through a primary backing, creating a “tuft”. Then, a latex glue is applied to hold the “tufts” in place (this is not really what I can call an environment-friendly rug). Finally the top of the tufts is trimmed to create the pile.
Don’t have any problem with people buying machine made rugs, IF they are aware of what they buy. If you buy a hand-tufted rug and expect it to be handmade, you got it really wrong!

So what is a real handmade rug?

Well, as you may know, real handmade rugs are made by people with their hand and fingers tying knots (or embroideries) one after the other. It is oriental Rug cleaning NYC which help you to keep it safe.

Keeping your area rugs clean will not only keep them looking great, but will also help them last a long time. With the proper care of your area rugs, you'll be able to enjoy their beauty for years to come.

Cleaning Rugs:

Wool rugs: Vacuum your wool rugs at least once a week. Most manufacturers recommend disabling beater bars and brush bars when vacuuming wool rugs. You can repair the rugs also when get damaged.Get a professional cleaning done every one to two years. Blot spills as quickly as possible with a white cloth; then spot treat.

Cotton rugs: Small rugs can be machine washed in warm water with a mild detergent; larger rugs should be beaten thoroughly and then vacuumed. Professional cleaning can fade a cotton rug. Stains will need to be treated by hand: Dab with a dry towel, followed by a damp towel. For stubborn food stains, try a combination of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide or a dry cleaning powder.

Other natural fiber rugs: Vacuum the rug weekly, vacuuming the underside, too, if possible. Professional cleaners should only use a dry extraction process, not steam or shampoo, on the rug. Blot spills immediately with a clean towel.

Synthetics rugs: Vacuum regularly and care for synthetic rugs following the same guidelines as wool rugs.

Silk rugs: Vacuum weekly on low suction without a beater bar. Have your silk rug cleaned every one to two years by a professional who specializes in silk or antique rugs. Blot spills with a towel, then douse spot with water and blot it again, but never rub. Repeat until the stain is gone. Do not use chemical spot cleaners.

WHY DO RUGS CREEP OVER CARPET?
Answers: 6 Views: 3641 Rating: 2 Posted: 12 years ago

Carpet creep

Despite all attempts of pads and adhesives, area rugs will tend to creep. As you walk on rugs on carpet the fibers tend to move and move the layers of carpet/pad above and result in area rug "creep." This is a fact of life due to the laws of nature. I live with it every day. I simply pull rugs back into place and get on with my life.

If you have used adhesives and tapes, please remove residues from carpet with solvent cleaner such as dry cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol, blotting from outside stain toward middle to prevent spreading with white rug.I can get be dust in it for that you need the cleaning oriental rugs reagent so it does not shrink now.
