What is a bamboo silk rug?

Silk has been used for thousands of years to create a variety of textiles — from clothing to tapestries and luxurious rugs, silk has endured the test of time thanks to its natural durability, elegance and beauty. Originating in China, silk is considered one of the highest quality fabrics found anywhere in the world!

When it comes to the creation of silk rugs, silk is often combined with wool and other high-quality materials like viscose to increase durability and make the final product more affordable. At Rug.com.au, our silk rugs have been hand-loomed with viscose materials like bamboo to ensure your new rug will last for years to come, even in high traffic areas of your home.

Bamboo is growing in popularity worldwide because it’s an incredible renewable resource. Bamboo is easy to grow, reaching up to 23 metres per year — plus, bamboo doesn’t need replanting, so it’s a great resource for manufacturing all-natural textile and rugs.

Our bamboo silk rugs are beautiful, lightweight and a near-perfect imitation of 100% natural silk. Browse through our collection now!

Caring for your bamboo silk rug

If spills are a common occurrence in your home, you might want to choose a more hearty rug like wool or cotton. Bamboo silk is delicate and water or liquids can change the appearance of the fabric pile. Bamboo silk rugs can be cleaned by a professional cleaner, so if a spill does occur, we recommend taking it straight to a rug cleaning specialist!

Here are some other tips and recommendations for keeping your new silk rug looking fresher for longer:

  • Raise the bristle bar up while vacuuming your rug so you don’t catch the threads. Alternatively, consider using a regular broom or manual rolling vacuum. Remember, always go in the direction of the pile, never against it.
     
  • Avoid scrubbing your rug when you’re cleaning up a spill. Instead, start with a damp towel (towards dry) and blot the area with a spill or stain (no circular motions). Alternatively, use an absorbent paper towel to soak up the spill without having to scrub or blot the area.
     
  • Use a hairdryer on a cool setting to dry wet areas.
     
  • If the stain is stubborn, use a soft hand brush and gently stroke in the direction of the pile while blotting every few strokes.
     
  • Don’t try to wash your bamboo silk rug in the washing machine! This can change the colour and appearance of your rug. If a deep clean is required, opt for a professional service instead.
     
  • While bamboo silk rugs are highly durable, we recommend placing them in low-traffic areas such as the bedroom or living room to stop the pile from being flattened. Avoid laying out your rug in direct sunlight. Bamboo fibres are durable and delicate all at the same time, and direct sunlight can cause the rug to fade! If possible, place your rug somewhere that it will be shaded during the day.
