• Wool Rugs • Sheepskin Rugs • Synthetic Rugs • Door Mats • Anti Slip Backing • Care Wool Rugs • Many wool rugs are hand tufted which means they are made completely by hand. Craftsmen individually thread strands of wool through a canvas. A backing fabric is then attached to keep the strands in place • Wool rugs tend to be hard wearing and therefore offer great value for money • The pile of a wool rug is soft and luxurious Sheepskin Rugs • Sheepskin rugs are available in single or double sizes • Sheepskins are joined together to create a larger rug • Sheepskins can successfully be dyed so rugs are available in various different colours Synthetic Rugs • Synthetic rugs are durable and hardwearing • Synthetic rugs are easy to care for and can be sponged or vacuumed • A Synthentic rug provides economical floor covering with a vast range of colours and designs to choose from Door Mats • Door mats are designed for keeping carpets and other floor coverings clean especially from dirty shoes or Wellington boots • Rubber doormats with deep grooves are designed for removing the mud from your wellies so they are ideal for outside the back door • Carpet mats with rubber backing stay in position and do not slip on the floor • Coir mats are ideal for cleaning your shoes when you enter the house. Coir is made from the husk of the coconut shell and is incredibly hardwearing Anti Slip Backing • It is vital to use anti slip backing if you are using rug on a smooth floor covering such as wood or linoleum • You can buy various different sizes but the felt like backing can easily be cut to any size • Our anti slip backing is 100% guaranteed to stop a rug from slipping Care • We recommend that all rugs are cared for according to their individual care instructions found on the packaging or on the reverse of the rug it's self • Cylinder vacuum cleaners are better to care for rugs as upright cleaners may cause damage to the pile • Be as gentle as possible when vacuuming a rug using the tools rather than the main vacuum it's self • Stains should be removed by dabbing not rubbing and only ever use cold water • Wool rugs normally need to be professionally cleaned; you should check individual care instructions carefully |
