Afghan Biljik Bukhara Original Hand-Woven Root Dye Wool 173x238 4.12 Square Meters - 5x7 ft

1-RUG FEATURES

The warp and weft of this rug are made of cotton, and the knots are made of wool yarn. The yarns are also entirely produced by hand using a drop spindle. The wool yarns used in the knots are dyed with root dyes, meaning natural materials. For example, to obtain the red color, the wool yarns are boiled with rose petals, and the yarn takes on the color of the rose petals; yarns dyed in this manner are called root-dyed yarns. Rugs produced from root-dyed yarns gain a brighter appearance with use. On the other hand, this rug is a high-quality rug in terms of weaving density and is woven with the Turkish knot, also known as the double knot technique; thanks to this feature, it is more durable and has a longer lifespan compared to Persian rugs. Finally, approximately 900,000 hand knots were tied in the weaving of this rug.

2-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Carpet cleaning varies depending on the material of the carpet and the type of dirt. Since this rug is made of wool yarns dyed with root dyes, carpet shampoos or detergents containing chemicals should not be used. If any liquid is spilled on this rug, first thoroughly blot the affected area with a paper towel; then, lather white bar soap and wipe the area with a cloth. It should also be noted that immediate action is very important when something is spilled on the rug. If the spilled liquid remains on the rug for a long time without being wiped, the stain will penetrate the warp and become much harder to remove. Finally, we recommend having this rug cleaned by a professional rug cleaner whom you trust and who specializes in hand-woven rug cleaning.
