Did you know jute is commonly known as “earth rugs”… Jute is one of the strongest fibers known to man! It was used on seagoing ships before the invention of steal cables. Woven into rugs, jute fibers provide lasting beauty and strength. They withstand commercial use and can last a lifetime in the home. They are harvested from the bamboo-like jute plant. Jute has natural water repellent characteristics. Jute is a reed that naturally grows in water. Water cannot damage a rug woven from jute fiber. Water simply beads up to the service.
Just like other fine rugs, they can be cleaned with soap and water, with a mild carpet shampoo or commercially dry-cleaned. Cleaning enhances the beauty of these rugs. Vacuum normally. Do not machine wash.
