Jute Rugs

Jute is a natural vegetable fiber that is typically grown in countries that have tropical climates such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, and Myanmar. Handwoven by skilled artisans, a lot of love and care goes into making jute rugs. Jute fibres start off as a natural color, but they can also be dyed to create more colorful jute rugs. Being 100% biodegradable and recyclable, one of the big plusses of buying jute rugs is that they are environmentally friendly. And if you are wondering ‘Are jute rugs durable?’ Put simply, yes! Children and pet-friendly, jute rugs are long-lasting and hard-wearing. With their thick fibers, jute rugs can hold up better than some of their synthetic rug counterparts. 

Can you clean jute rugs? 

Yes! One of the many benefits of jute rugs is that they are low-maintenance and easy to keep clean. The best way to keep your jute rug clean is to vacuum it regularly. Given their natural appearance, jute rugs are very good at hiding dirt and dust, but dust will tend to accumulate within the jute fibers over time which is why regular vacuuming is essential to prevent dirt build up even if your rug looks clean. For an extra clean, you can combine vacuuming with a dry cleaning powder – simply use a stiff bristle brush to work the powder into your rug and then vacuum over the top. As jute is quite absorbent, steam cleaning, wet shampooing, or hosing jute rugs is not recommended. Jute rugs are also not suitable for use in high moisture areas such as the laundry or bathroom. If your rug is exposed to excessive water this can lead to mold or mildew, as well as staining. Given jute rugs are often brown in color, stains are not always as noticeable as they would be otherwise but to ensure your jute rug lasts as long as possible, it’s best to spot clean your rug straight away if you spill anything on it. Rather than rubbing the spill, it is best to use a cloth to blot out any excess liquid. Once you have done that, you can finish the drying off with a hairdryer to remove as much moisture as possible. After that, you can sprinkle some baking soda on the area, then wait for 15 minutes and vacuum over that area. As jute rugs are hand-woven out of natural fibers, the fibres in the rug tend to shed over time. Thankfully, it usually occurs on the underside of the rug so it is less noticeable, and if your rug is a similar color to your floor, you’ll notice the fibres even less. If you do see some loose fibres, they are easy to vacuum up using a strong suction vacuum cleaner.

Where to buy jute rugs?

As well as beige, brown, cream and white rugs, we also sell jute rugs in many other colors including blue, red, and pink rugs, peach rugs, and multi-colored flat weave rugs. What color you choose will depend on the color of your floor as well as the other furniture and homewares that are in the room where you are planning to put the rug. For example, if you are buying a rug for your bedroom with a bright colorful bedspread, you might decide to get a more neutral-colored rug so the bedspread can remain the standout feature. On the other hand, if your room has plainer furniture and decor, you may want to splash out and create a statement with a striking multi-colored jute rug. With so many colours and styles to choose from, you’re sure to find a rug to suit your style and tastes. To prevent your jute rug from slipping on the floor, as a safety measure we recommend you buy a rug underlay.
