How Are Area Rugs Made?

Area rugs are created using either traditional handmade or modern machine-made techniques:

Handmade Rugs

Each knot is tied by hand, making these one-of-a-kind pieces durable and timeless investments. Handmade rugs often use natural materials like wool and silk, and the artistry can take months or even years to complete.

Machine Made Rugs

Created on automated looms, they offer affordable, stylish options in various designs and sizes. These rugs are typically made from synthetic fibers like nylon and olefin, making them durable and budget-friendly.

Area Rug Maintenance

Keep your area rugs looking great with these simple tips:


  • Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum with no beater bar for delicate rugs and avoid vacuuming the fringes.
  • Rotate: Turn your rug every few months to prevent uneven wear and sun fading.
  • Spot Clean Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. Use mild soap and water for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Professional Cleaning: Schedule a professional deep clean every 2-5 years, depending on traffic levels.
  • Padding: Use proper rug padding to reduce wear and protect floors.
  • Storage: When storing, roll the rug (against the nap) and use moth protection for long-term care.


For Handmade Rugs: Consult professionals for cleaning and repairs to preserve their quality and value.
