Care and Feeding: Your handmade jute rug can be placed indoors, or outdoors in shelter, and makes a lovely porch accent. Simply hose off for cleaning, reshape, and allow to air dry. Do not hang. Keep from rain and direct sun. Do not machine wash or dry. Take care of it and you will have a beautiful and unique rug for a very long time.
If your new rug is destined for a smooth floor in a traffic area, you may wish to place a nonskid pad under it. This is a natural fiber, and it will move around.
About Jute: Jute is a strong natural fiber, the same material used to make burlap cloth. Unlike cotton, jute does not require heavy pesticides or fertilizing. It also flourishes nicely on natural rainfall. It is completely sustainable, growing in only 4-6 months. The inner core of the plant can even replace most of the world's wood needs, greatly reducing reliability on rainforests for wood.
Please note that we are a non-smoking household, but we do enjoy incense. It's possible (but unlikely) that you may notice a scent. Rest assured it is a wholesome one. (The jute has a scent all its own that will fade in time.) Also, we are cat people. I don't let them near my items, but a stray hair is a distinct possibility. No extra charge for these. :-D
This was made with loving intent, and I hope you and your family will enjoy using and displaying it as much as I enjoyed making it for you. :-) Do feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments, I'm usually near my computer and always happy to hear from friendly folk! :-) If you'd like to know more about me, or stay more up-to-date with my Amazon offerings, be sure to follow Exotiflora on social media!
