A little area rug history.

Written By LORNE ROELOFSEN

Let's delve into the Fascinating History of Rugs!

Throughout centuries, humanity's evolution intertwines with the evolution of rugs. From ancient tribal practices of weaving weeds and grasses to primitive structures, to nomadic tribes crafting rugs from animal hides and hairs, the journey of rug-making spans over 5000 years.

Fast forward to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, where extensive research by archaeologists unveils the prevalence of carpets over 4000 years ago.

While "rugs" and "carpets" are often used interchangeably, rugs are loosely placed floor coverings, while carpets cover the entire floor, secured in place.

The term "rug" originates from "rugged," denoting deeper and shaggier piles. In contrast, carpets are firmly affixed to the floor.

From ancient traditions to modern-day decor, rugs continue to weave stories of cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Explore the timeless allure of rugs in your space today!

0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas.
