The beauty of Indian Rugs and Carpets


Carpet or rug can be defined as a fine textile piece which is used to cover up the surface of the floor in order to prevent the floors from getting dirty and also to make the surrounding look even more attractive. Even though there are different places from where one can get quality carpets for their usages but India is the best place from where one can get variety of designs. Indian Handmade Rugs can be stated as a textile covering for the floor and it comprises of an upper portion of pile which is attached to the back of the entire set. This entire set is mainly made out of wool or from different other fibers which are man-made in nature. Some such examples are nylon, polypropylene, polyester and more.

A little history of Carpets:

Indian Carpets are mainly manufactured by using twisted tuffs which are treated with heat. Such procedure is used for maintaining the structure and shape of the strings. The main term namely Carpet was derived from the Old Italian word Carpite or Carpire which means to pluck. Sometime the word rug is used in place of this term. According to some, Indian Rugs generally means a stretching that is placed from one part of the wall to another and for others, rugs are mainly smaller in size and of lower quality. Carpets on the other hand are of good quality when compared with rugs and also comprise of finished ends.
Previously, Flooring Carpet was also used for covering up walls and tables and it was not used to cover up the flooring's. In the late 18th century, this material was used for covering up floors in the European interiors. This also gave rise to open trading business that took place between Western Europe and Persia.
Cleaning the used carpets also forms a major topic while discussing about carpets. It is a known fact that rugs need to be cleaned after a certain time period so that these remain beautiful and can last long. There are different ways which are followed in this regard and it also depends on the quality or the raw material with which the carpets are made. For example, Wool Carpet can be cleaned by using certain chemicals which are solely used for this purpose only.
For Cleaning Carpets, look for the exact temperature and the perfect kind of chemical concentrations which can be used for this purpose. The time limit and agitation also forms some major part in this regard.
