Two popular types of Afghan carpets
The two most popular types of Afghan woollen carpet are Khal Mohammadi and Kargai. Afghan carpets are hand-knotted by Turkmen in the northern part of Afghanistan. In some cases, this type of oriental carpet is also made in Pakistan by Turkmen who have migrated to Pakistan. The primary colours are dark red or brown in various shades. Many people believe that the denser and thicker the carpet, the better and more durable it is. In hand-knotted oriental carpets, thickness is a matter of shearing. Durability is the result of the density of the knotting and the quality of the material. With their variety of patterns and colours, they give your home a unique feel as a living room or bedroom carpet. For hallways we have runner carpets that are less wide but longer.
How do I clean an Afghan hand knotted carpet?
Minor dirt can be easily removed from Afghan carpet, no expertise is required. A slightly damp cloth can be easily cleaned. Afghan carpets can be vacuumed at any time. However, as with all oriental carpets, vacuuming should be done in the direction of the fibre. The wool carpet's worst enemy is moths, so it is advisable to air it frequently, especially in summer, and to move the carpet occasionally to prevent moths from laying eggs underneath. If the carpet is heavily soiled, we recommend that you contact a professional carpet cleaning company. The greatest advantage of hand-knotted carpets is that they can be restored.
