Checkerboard Rug Brown White Short Pile Wool Rug 240x335cm
Handwoven with premium wool, this checkerboard rug is simple yet sophisticated!
It is hand knotted with excellent wool quality and natural hand-spun wool! The latter gives the rug extra depth, instead of using solid block colours, and translates in a more sophisticated and softer look and feel.
It is handmade with soft wool and a very short pile height. The low pile makes it work in many different rooms: it works as a living room rug as well as in kitchen areas or in hallways.

Size
You can work with your intuitive Feng Shui compass to determine the size but if that is not getting you anywhere, then please find here some guide lines.
Handwoven rugs
Typical for handmade rugs is that they do not necessarily have perfect symmetrical designs. They have imperfections in design and this is also part of the charm of handwoven rugs and what makes every rug unique.
In this checkerboard design the check motifs are not perfectly square. They have a slight difference in size with yet a symmetrical look and feel.
They are handwoven in shades of its colour instead of solid block colours as of the handspun wool mentioned above.
Underlay
This brown checkerboard rug has a good weight to it, is not too thin or too floppy, however depending on the underfloor you may wish to add an underlay.
“Underlay makes SUCH a difference not only in keeping the rug in place but also in making it feel much nicer to walk on.”

Maintaining and caring for your kilim
This brown checkerboard rug is relatively low maintenance and only requires and occasional vacuum clean.
It is best to vacuum it on a lower setting and make sure you also do the reverse now and then as just as much dust accumulates there, as on the front.
Furthermore, it is sensible to give your rug a good shake outside every couple of months.
Stain treatment
The quicker you deal with spills, the less chance there is of it staining.
The effective way to treat a spill, for example red wine, is to apply water to begin with to dilute the stain, followed by mopping it with a kitchen towel straight away.
Start from the outside of the stain and work inwards to limit the affected area, but do not rub the stain as this can damage the yarn. Once a carpet gets wet, it is important to dry it out thoroughly afterwards, to prevent the wool from rotting.
Don’t use any bleach or chemical treatments as they might take the stain out, but leave a white stain instead.
When in doubt, professional carpet cleaning will always remain the best choice. If you need advice on this, pleased get in touch.
