Survivor: Natural Area Rugs – Flooring to the Extreme

Friday, May 26th, 2006

I knew that our natural fiber rugs could withstand a decent amount of abuse, but this recent letter from a customer is a true success story. Take a look:

I bought my 9×12 several months ago. I have since had three floods in my house (Dallas) and each time I dragged my rug outside and dried it out and dragged it back in. The remarkable thing is that my rug is still perfect. No harm was done despite the abuse it suffered. Thank you for such a great and sturdy rug!

Oh, and did we mention our rugs are durable?

Response to Customer: Why Is My Wool Rug Shedding?

Thursday, May 25th, 2006
One of our customers recently wrote:

“I recently purchased an 8×10 Royal Treasure wool rug and I am happy
with the purchase. But I have a comment/question regarding all of the
shedding that the rug is doing. When will it stop? I bought it so I would
have something soft for my daughter to sit and play on (she is 10 months old)
but the way the rug is pilling/shedding I am afraid she will eat the fuzz -
so I vacuumed it a few times in the first week to pull out the loose
fibers – or so I thought. I am somewhat confused because in the BLOG it is
praising how great wool rugs are for air quality.  Now every horizontal
surface in our room is covered with the loose fibers and I afraid to have my
daughter breathing that in all the time.  Will this shedding ever stop?”

Dear Wool Carpet Owner:

A new wool carpet may actually shed heavily for the first few months of use. Since the porous wool fibers are only connected on one end, it is easy for them to come loose, and they tend to ball up because of static. This typically lasts for a month or two (with regular traffic). Frequent vacuuming will help control the amount of loose fibers that are in the room. It’s true, a baby should not be ingesting large quantities of your new rug, but the air-purifying qualities of wool still stand true. The rug does trap harmful chemicals that may be found in the air. After a few months, the amount of shedding will have greatly decreased, and you will have one beautiful wool rug.

Everyone Loves Bamboo

Thursday, May 25th, 2006
Our bamboo rugs have been very popular among home owners, and it’s no wonder.  Here’s a letter we received from a fan:

Dear Madam or Sir,

We purchased your bamboo rugs for the living room, and they
are fantastic. We have three cats and a dog, and the bamboo
area rugs are holding up beautifully. They do not collect
pet fur, show scratches, or stain. Thank you for a
fantastic product!

Thanks very much!
