When designing the Smith Stripe Rug the desire was to combine two very popular colours, natural and graphite, to create a stylish look perfect for any Australian home. Adding the graphite stripe into the boucle weave creates a vintage look and feel. Offering a point of difference, the stripe runs horizontally on the rug and vertically on the runners. Available in eight sizes of mats, runners and rugs. Small 160 cm x 230 cm Medium 180cm x 270cm Large 240cm x 300cm Extra - Large 300cm x 400cm Oversized Mat 70cm x 140cm Doormat 60cm x 90cm 4m Runner 80cm x 400cm 3m Runner 80cm x 300cm Jute is a natural, sustainable, environmentally friendly fibre adding a relaxed layer of texture and style to any home. The boucle is a thick chunky weave designed to provide durability and practicality to high-traffic areas whilst being comfortable and soft underfoot. Each rug is handmade, meaning no two are the same. Irregularities are characteristic of the design and process and are considered a feature of the product. Wear & Fading The best way to keep your jute rug clean is to vacuum regularly so that the dust and dirt doesn't build up and rub into the fibres. Vacuum regularly without a brush, in the direction of the weave. Rugs are subject to wear and tear over time and can become faded if exposed to direct sunlight. Rotate regularly to minimise colour change and damage. We do recommend the use of an underlay. This can prevent movement or slipping and also help to protect flooring underneath. Spills & Spots Treat spots and spills immediately with warm water and pat dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. If necessary sprinkle baking soda onto the rug, allow to sit overnight to absorb lingering odour. Shedding Strands of jute can sometimes pop out of our hand-crafted rugs. Loose fibres should be twisted and pushed through to the base of the rug. Never pull out threads, this an cause damage and holes Odour As the rugs are shipped in sealed bags, odours from dyes and fibres can accumulate during transit. This odour will naturally dissipate over time when the rug is removed from its bag.
