Description
Afghan rugs are renowned globally for their exceptional quality. They are highly acclaimed due to their vibrant and long-lasting colors, remarkable durability. For generations, this ancient craft has been treasured within Afghan culture; until recently, these intricately woven masterpieces were primarily created for familial use. In Afghan culture, it is customary for mothers to weave exquisite rugs as precious gifts presented to their daughters upon marriage.
Typically, Afghan households possess herds of sheep and obtain wool fibers from these animals. The wool is then subjected to dyeing using natural and root dyes in extremely high-temperature ovens. This dyeing process is repeated multiple times to achieve vibrant colors that symbolize prosperity and social standing within Afghan society. Notably, the durability of Afghan rugs ensures that they do not easily fade, allowing them to withstand the test of time when used appropriately; indeed, with proper care, these rugs can endure for centuries.
At Yamil Craft, our rug production follows eco-friendly practices that have been passed down through generations. Instead of using machines, we rely on traditional techniques to create our rugs, thereby avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases. Additionally, we prioritize the use of biodegradable wool, and our rugs can be used for decades to minimize landfill waste.
Care instructions:
- Vacuum it regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner at least once every week to maintain the cleanliness of your rug and prevent dirt and dust from accumulating deeply
- Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near a heat source for an extended period. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the vibrant colors of the rug to fade over time.
- Effectively remove spills and stains with a damp cloth and mild soap by gently blotting the affected area. Avoid rubbing excessively as this can potentially worsen the stain and harm the integrity of the fibers. If stain persists, seek professional cleaning services. It is crucial to refrain from using harsh chemicals or bleach on your rug, as their abrasive properties can lead to color fading and damage the luminous property of the wool fibers.
