Quince Levi Jute Rug

Standard jute can sometimes feel coarse or scratchy, but the brushing process used on this rug softens the fibers significantly. It creates a smoother, more refined texture that is comfortable for walking barefoot while still maintaining the natural, earthy character of the material.

Yes, a rug pad is highly recommended. Because this rug does not have a non-slip backing, a pad will prevent it from sliding on hard floors, protect your flooring from potential friction, and add a layer of cushioning to the 0.4-inch pile.

Jute is a natural fiber that should be kept dry, so avoid steam cleaning or wet shampooing. Regular vacuuming without the beater bar is the best way to keep it clean, and any spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

As a natural fiber, some minor shedding is normal during the initial break-in period, which will subside with regular vacuuming. The hand-loomed construction is durable, but like all woven rugs, it is best placed in low-to-medium traffic areas to maintain its appearance.

We do not recommend placing this rug in bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms. Jute is highly absorbent and can be damaged by moisture, which may lead to mold or mildew if the rug remains damp.

Each rug is expertly handcrafted by artisans in India, meaning there will be slight variations in the weave and tone. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your specific rug has its own distinct character.
