Machine made rugs have come a long way. Originally made by just a few manufacturers, machine made rugs are now made by many manufacturers in various countries. these rugs have become very popular among manufacturers and consumers due to their diversity and modest price points.

Machine made rugs are machine loomed on looms. The production time is less than that of hand made rugs and each rug is perfect in the sense that the lines, curves and every other detail of design is without flaw. Fibers used in machine made rugs include wool, cotton and synthetics such as acrylic, nylon and polypropylene. Belgium and The United States are known for more of their wool machine made rugs while othger countries are known more for their synthetic fiber machine made rugs.

The countries of origin for machine made rugs include The United States, Turkey, Egypt, Belgium, Israel and China. each country makes various qualities using various materials.

Good machine made rugs can last around twenty(20) years. Qualities among machine made rugs vary and one of the most important aspects of quality is the density of the weave. Generally the tighter the weave, the longer the rug will last. A good test is to feel the pile with your fingertips and see how easy or difficult it is to seperate the fibers.

In general, machine made rugs are a great value for the money. With hundreds of designs and colorways, there is sure to be one that fits your needs. From traditional and modern to kids and shag, machine made rugs are a good choice.

Cleaning area rugs
Don't be alarmed! Most area rugs can be spot cleaned fairly easily. For most spills, first try to blot out the spot with a damp sponge. If this does not work, on all fibers except for silk, try adding a little mild liquid detergent to some lukewarm water and scrub the area with a soft scrub brush. This should do the job. On even more stubborn stains, please refer to our
spot cleaning guide.

Rotation
It is a great idea, whenever possible, to rotate your area and oriental rugs and rug pads at least once a year. Like everything else, rugs and rug pads can wear due to traffic and the more even the wear, the longer your area rug and rug pad will last. This holds true to fading as well. Rotating your area rug once a year will prevent any obvious or prolonged wear pattern or fading spots.

We love our animals but.....
One of the few stains that may not come out perfectly is animal stain. Please try to avoid animal accidents on area rugs and in the event that something does happen, make sure to get to it right away. Once animal stains dry in most fibers, it is almost impossible to remove the stain, not to mention the odor left behind. Animal hair is not harmful to area rugs and can be easily vacuumed off as often as you would like.
