Kilims-Dhurries-Flatweaves Rugs
It is difficult to find a Dhurrie of this size and this is a very special piece with its attractive and modern look. A flat weave rug similar to a kilim hand woven in India, Dhurries have been made in India for over one hundred years and even now, have a contemporary feel and effect in a room. They can be used, in a wide variety of settings and are very flexible in room designs. The rug's pattern is stripes and main color is blue and orange as the secondary color.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
