Q:How often should I have my rugs cleaned?
For a rug under moderate use, the longest you should wait in between professional cleaning is two years. Entry rugs that get high traffic, or rugs that are in areas with a lot of activity from small children or pets, can be cleaned annually. Because wool has the ability to hide a great amount of soil and contaminants before it “looks” dirty, a consistent dusting (vacuuming) routine is important to help you extend the length of time in between professional cleaning. We also offer Free Consultation for Rugs Cleaning, Rugs Repair and Rugs Restoration.
Q: Do I need a pad or underlay for my rug?
Maybe. It depends on your floor covering. If you have marble, wood, ceramic, or slate floors, you will probably need a pad or Underlay to prevent movement of your rug. However, if you have wall-to-wall synthetic carpets and are planning on placing your rug on top, you probably do not need a Pad or Underlay. Contact us for a Free Consultation.
Q: Do you have a catalogue?
Because our website is our catalogue, we don't produce a paper version. This not only means we can keep costs down, and pass the savings on to our customers, but we can also constantly update and increase our range.

Q: Carpets & Kilims what’s the difference?
The difference between a kilim and a carpet or pile rug is that whereas the design visible on the kilim is made by interweaving the variously colored wefts and warps, thus creating what is known as a flatweave, in a pile rug individual short strands of different color, usually of wool, are knotted onto the warps and held together by pressing the wefts tightly against each othe. In this case the whole design is made by these separately knotted strands which form the pile, and the patterns become clearly visible after any excessive lengths of the knotted materials are shorn off to create a level surface. Please view our online article.
