Tulu Rugs
Step up to a shaggy, brown and white, abstractly designed Turkish Tulu rug. Tulus originate in central Anatolia and the bitonal pieces are recent innovations since earlier antique Turkish Tulu pieces with the step pattern are a bit more colorful. The directionality is strong and points toward the top end. Tulus are minimalist, archetypal folk art, and work well on the wall as modern or even Art Deco hangings. The unevenly hand cut wooly pile is a great contrast to hard edged current décor.
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.
