Chobi Kilim rug is the Afghan art
Chobi Kelim rugs are very popular all over the world. In Afghanistan, they are hand-woven by nomads and villagers. This type of Afghan Kelim rug is denser and more compact than other Kelim rugs. A special technique is used in weaving, which makes them thinner and therefore relatively faster to weave than traditional oriental rugs. After making, they are washed four times and then sun-dried. Afghan Kelim rugs have a traditional warm antique design, but are often available in a more modern version. They are very popular, mainly because they blend perfectly with most room colours, and fall into the category of reasonably priced rugs. They can be used as a decorative feature in the home, as a wall rug or as a traditional floor covering. Kelim, is the perfect rug for the living room or even for hallways or corridors as a runner rug.
How to clean a Chobi Kelim rug?
Caring for a Chobi Kelim rug does not require a great deal of expertise. Small stains can be easily removed with a slightly damp cloth or a commercially available carpet cleaning foam suitable for cleaning wool. For heavier stains, however, we recommend professional carpet cleaning companies. Chobi Kelim rugs can be cleaned on the lowest setting of the vacuum cleaner as they do not retain dust. There is an old tradition of hanging the Kelim and beating it with a carpet beater stick, but this is actually not recommended as it can damage the hand-woven Chobi Kelim as well as any other carpet.
We hope that you will be satisfied with the hand-woven Chobi Kelim rug you purchase from us and that you will enjoy using it.
