Return To Rugs Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Jute Rugs - Meant For Your House By Astrid Bullen Today jute is being used for jute rugs and carpet, after years of being used as rug backing. These rugs can match any décor. Jute is as appropriate in stylish, modern rooms as in a proper, conventional environment, and the rugs are as prudent in the workplace as they are in the home. The conservationist and fashionable properties of jute have been recognized by the world as it looks for natural alternatives to save the environment. Jute is one of the softest and finest of natural fiber area rugs. The fiber in a jute rug is 3 to 15 feet long and off-white to brown. This amazing fiber is made up of cellulose, lignin, and pectin. Jute can be cleaned with soap and water or with rug shampoo, or if you have an upmarket jute area rug, you can have it commercially cleaned with dry processes. You can now find these natural area rugs very inexpensively. Looking Up From The Jute Area Rug Manufacturers are coming up with a number of different treatments to make jute more functional. The fiber tends to lose its shape and curl, so some makers are adding a thin latex backing to hold the jute in place. Jute can also be difficult to clean, so rug makers are pre-treating the fiber with Vectra, a new treatment that helps keep any printing from fading, and that also helps stains to come out more easily. Please note that this fiber is not recommended for areas with high moisture levels. Jute is both sturdy and stylish, and rugs made of this natural fiber date back to the earliest days of rug making. The rugs are made from the fiber derived from the stalks of the jute plant and woven into either a herringbone or a boucle pattern.
