Braided Cotton Rugs
Of the many traditions in the art of rug making, the braided rug is the one true American form. Its history is rooted in the pioneering spirit of America's early settlers. The ancient Romans were the first to braid strands together to create stronger, more durable ropes of fabric. Then about 300 years ago, early American pioneers began braiding together scraps of cloth and stitching them together to create large braided rugs that could be produced at home. An American tradition was born.
Cleaning: Retain the beauty of this fine product by regular vacuuming using the hard surface attachment. Please do not use a beater brush. Spills should be cleaned as soon as possble. Remove spots with any non-bleach detergent. Periodic deep cleaning by professional dry cleaning is recommended.
Maintenance: Trim, never pull, loose threads. If threads which hold the braids loosen or break simply sew together with a needle and strong thread. Occasionally, "sprouts" of loose fabric may appear in your rug. These are a natural by-product of the traditional method used to make these braided rugs. Use a sharp pair of scissors and simply trim the sprout even with the rug.
Floor Padding: An anti-slip floor padding is strongly recommended to provide comfort, safety and durability.
