Ballard Jute Rug - Natural materials made to last
A Ballard jute rug has a lot to offer your home. A Ballard jute rug will provide you with the look of sisal but with a little softer touch as well as a cheaper price. If you are going for a certain look that won't be highly trafficked in your home, you might want to first consider a Ballard jute rug.
What is a jute rug?
A jute rug is a rug that is woven from the jute plant, therefore it is a natural rug made from natural materials. Jute rugs make great flooring because they are static free meaning that they won't attract excessive dirt and dust. Many jute rugs are braided. You can find these area rugs in mostly repetitive patterns with simple colors such as a houndstooth pattern.
Sometimes people ask, "What does a jute rug feel like?" Since it is a natural material it has a nice touch to it. It does not feel as soft as cotton, but it is not as itchy and rough feeling as most wools. It almost has a feel of a sisal rug. To compensate for the rougher feel sometimes people look for a jute cotton border rug. This is a combination of the jute material as well as cotton on the border giving the rug a unique texture and design.
Jute Rug Care and Cleaning
- Remember that jute rugs are extra thick. This only matters if you putting your rug next to a door. They need at least a good 1-2" of clearance next to doors.
- These area rugs are also fairly heavy. For example, jute rugs 8x10 feet will weigh around 90 pounds. Heavy is not all bad in a rug. This provides durability as well. Plus your rug won't be "moving" all over your floor when you walk on it.
- Jute area rugs are an indoor use only rug. Since they are thick they are extra absorbent. Outside they will be ruined by taking in all sorts of moisture.
- Do not clean these rugs with cleaning solvents. Use only a dry power extraction to clean (something like CarpetFresh r).
