Lets talk white dots on handwoven rugs.

Written By LORNE ROELOFSEN

Good Morning!

Let's talk white knots on handwoven wool rugs. Did you know that these little quirks are present in every handwoven rug, whether they're immediately visible or not?

Even if your area rug boasts "100% wool," chances are its foundation is made of cotton. Those white knots? They're a result of the weaving process. When weavers run out of cotton on the spool or if it breaks, they tie knots to keep the foundation going.

Sometimes, these knots aren't immediately noticeable for various reasons. They might be inked to blend with the rug's colors, become dulled by dirt or they start appearing as the fibers wear down. So, if you notice them after a clean, don't fret—it's just revealing the rug's true character. Note that these knots are for the most part white but it is possible that they could be a different color.

Remember, these knots aren't flaws but rather a natural part of the weaving process. They add a unique charm to your area rugs, showcasing their handmade quality. Embrace the character! #ArearugcleaningNanaimo #ArearugcleaningLadysmith #ArearugcleaningParksville #ArearugcleaningQualicumbeach #ArearugcleaningNanooseBay Picture: Notice the white foundation showing where it is worn and the white dots where it is not worn.




























































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.
