"Terrific Job Cleaning a Rug" - Hadeed Oriental Rug Review

A Brief History of the Handmade Rug-Making Tradition

Making rugs by hand is a tradition that is still in use today. For thousands of years these skills have been passed through generations, creating some of the most beautiful rugs in the world. Whether you already have a few handmade rugs or are looking to buy some, this guide gives you a brief glimpse into the history of this artistic tradition.

Unknown Origins

The skill of weaving handmade rugs goes back so far that historians and scholars are not sure when it truly began. The Pazyryk carpet, which is the oldest surviving rug, was created more than 2,500 years ago and survived because it was frozen in a block of ice. Many cultures throughout modern-day countries including China, Iran, Turkey, and Afghanistan, among others, have their own variations of handmade rug-making traditions, most of which span thousands of years.

The Need for Beauty

Between 1499 and 1722, handmade rugs were considered a symbol of wealth. Rich families across the globe commissioned rug makers to create masterpieces which they could keep in their homes. During this period, known as the Safavil period in Persia, artists were able to create some of the most distinctive and beautiful rugs ever made.

The Study of Rugs

Weavers have been making handmade rugs consistently for thousands of years, but it was not until the 19th Century that scholars began to study them. During this time, the Europeans looked into the art of the handmade rug. In 1891, an Oriental rug exhibit opened in Vienna. Today, some of the world’s best Oriental rugs can be found in museums throughout the world.

Allergens that Could Be Lurking in Your Air Ducts, Upholstery, and Rugs

Runny noses, scratchy throats, and itchy eyes could all be symptoms of allergies. Without the proper cleaning routines, your home is the ideal breeding ground for certain allergens that can cause some serious problems to your health.

Up in the Air Ducts

When you use your HVAC system, the system blows air through the ducts to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. This system also blows dirt, dust, pollen, and other debris that are affecting your indoor air quality. Professional air duct cleanings can remove these allergens and keep the air in your home clear so you can breathe better at home.

Resting in Your Rugs

Each time you walk across your rug, you could be sending pet dander, dust, mold spores, and other allergens into the air. Even if your floor coverings look good, it is important to bring them in for professional rug cleanings. After the experts remove these allergens from your rugs, your home will be cleaner and more sanitary so you feel healthier and happier.

Nestled into the Upholstery

Cleaning the upholstery in your home is just as important as cleaning the carpets. If you find that you still have allergies even after professional carpet cleanings, there could be allergens in your upholstery. Body oils, dirt, hair, and even bacteria might nestle into your upholstery, releasing allergens into the air each time someone sits down. Have your upholstery professionally cleaned at least once every two years to improve indoor air quality.

With our air duct, upholstery, and Oriental rug cleaning services, we can remove these potentially harmful particles and improve your indoor air quality.
