Tulu Rugs
Vintage Turkish Tulu Rug 4' x 6'7. Tulu's originate in central Anatolia handmade in the Konya area with a thick weave and long pile. The shiny wool and length of the pile make these rugs exceptionally lustrous. The look has a contemporary feeling, and these rugs are suitable in any room settings. Tulu's 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.
