JUTE RUGS

Known as the golden fiber because of its color and various uses, jute dates back to ancient times when it was used as the primary material for sackcloth.  Popular for its tensile strength, jute is commonly used to day for ropes and burlap.  The primary exporters of jute today are India and Bangladesh.

Jute’s natural color ranges from creamy white to brown.  Jute fibers are derived from the Jute plant’s fibrous stalks which can be woven to boucle or herringbone patterns.  Considered to be one of the softest natural fiber materials, jute makes an ideal floor covering material. 

Though durable and hardwearing, jute in no recommended for high moisture or high traffic areas as moist conditions make jute susceptible to molds and mildew.  You would not want your jute rug to be spilled on by any liquid as stains and watermarks are often difficult to remove.  Should this occur, we recommend that you immediately blot your jute rug with a clean moist cloth.  As with most natural fiber rugs, we recommend that you tap the services of a professional cleaner for serious stains.

Given proper care, jute rugs are expected to last for years. In low to medium traffic situations, where these materials are not expected to be subjected to moisture, jute rugs require no more than periodic vacuuming or shaking.
