It is then washed trimmed and edging added. The finished product is a durable dense plush piled floor rug. Specifications Hand tufted pile fibre 100% Japanese acrylic yarn weight 3.1kg per square metre pile height approximately 1cm primary and secondary backing 100% cotton. Yarn 100% Japanese acrylic fibre is considered to be a superior quality yarn. It is favoured because of its soft plush and springy feel ease of cleaning and excellent resistance to soiling static moths and mildew. Acrylic yarn is the closest to wool in appearance and touch of any synthetic. Due to special processing the shininess often associated with synthetics is avoided. It is available in a wide choice of colours and is less likely to fade in bright sunlight than nylon or polyester. Rug Care Today's carpet fibres are designed to reflect light and have the ability to resist soiling and stains. However the lack of apparent soiling does not eliminate the necessity of regular cleaning. Regular maintenance extends the life and the appearance of your rug. Basic Vacuuming Most soil in carpet can be removed with a vacuum cleaner. This should be done before it is worked into the carpet pile by foot traffic. Ideally your vacuum cleaner should have rotating brushes a strong airflow to penetrate the backing cloth and a high filtration bag that limits particles from recirculating into the air. Change the bag often to maximise effectiveness. Spot Cleaning When spills occur always scoop up or blot immediately. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the stain. Gently dabbing towards the centre will reduce spreading and ensure the pile is not damaged. Cleaning Products Acrylics can endure more solvents alkaline or water-based chemicals than Nylon. When spotting an acrylic carpet it is best to use a slightly alkaline product. Check your product label for instructions.
