MAINTENANCE To protect your investment in a Davis and Davis wool rug it is important to follow maintenance periodically to keep it performing at its best. Cleaning at regular intervals, rather than waiting on a spill actually extends it’s life. A well maintained wool product absorbs dirt, airborne dust, fumes and noise. It even makes the home interior more hygienic. Wool’s unique complex fiber structure releases soil up to 25% more readily than synthetic carpet. It’s scaly outer structure holds soil high on the pile right where a vacuum can lift it out easily. Accidents happen. Quick removal of spots and spills is crucial. When the unexpected occurs: Blot up liquids with white paper towels, scoop up solids with the end of a knife or spoon. Try not to let the spill go deeper into the carpet. If possible place plastic under the area being treated to promote quicker drying. Treat the spot according to the cleaning chart. Apply spot removal agent to clean towel, not to the spot. Use small quantities at a time. Always work inwards from the edge to prevent spreading. Do not rub. This may cause the spot to spread or distort the twist in the pile. Do not over wet. Blot as dry as possible with a clean towel and repeat if necessary.

We use no viscose. Halo art silk is the result of our commitment to solve the cleaning and performance weaknesses of the industry’s existing art silk. Our new generation of high luster type 6-6 nylon art silk is as soft to the touch as it is beautiful. This luxurious, but durable filament produces the perfect level of reflectance without the common imperfections found in similar art silk yarns. With Halo there are no dye ripples or spots, harsh shine, matting, or static build up, which are common when using viscose. Look for the Halo label. With Halo there are no cleaning issues which plague rayon based viscose and its derivatives such as bamboo and banana art silk. TUTORIAL Powered by Squarespace
