The challenge of a hand woven rug

Hand woven rugs come from all areas of the world.

You can find them in Morocco, India, China…even John Lewis; if you can’t find the time to jet-set to another country.

Around fifteen years ago, I found myself backpacking through Europe and ended-up in Marrakesh, where I was lucky enough to find this delightful piece.

Now, fifteen years is a long time and I am ashamed to say that I have failed this rug. As you can see, the poor fellow has been sunbathing far too much and as a result, he’s a touch dried out.

The bright, brilliant yellows and ochre reds that filled the weave have long since vanished and now he’s left looking rather sad.

I explained this to our fearless leader – Pierre, who advised, “You know what, bring it in and we’ll see what we can do."

I'm sorry to say, that there is only so much a good cleaning can do and that's what we're saying here.

This is a beautiful design and while the colour may have depleted, the memories attached have not. Care is what's called for, from you and from us. A re-colouring might reinvigorate it, but it will never be new again.

Pierre was honest and that's what we are with all our customers. We tell you how it really is, but we do it with a compassionate smile.

That rascally puppy

Puppy fans the nation over will be keeping a keen eye on police puppy, BLADE.

No, he’s not a vampire hunter and his name is much more menacing than his fuzzy face suggests.

Blade is a foster dog; adopted by the Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police Force. For the next year to year and a half, the officer in charge of training the adorable pup will tweet his progress and regale us stories of his misdemeanours.

Now, many of you have dogs and many of you have been through the joy of puppy toilet training; the puddle, the smell, the elbow grease it takes to remove the odour…if you’re fast enough.

Well, have no fear, Art of Clean is here!

Chances are, that you work. That’s fine, but dogs, puppies in particular are less understanding and do seem to take any opportunity they can to pee on as many surfaces as their tiny bladders allow. By the time you return from work, it’s likely that your first step inside your lovely, carpeted home will be into a damp, yellow spot.

This might not be something you planned for, but it’s OK, we can help.

Whether it's rugs, carpets, wooden flooring or furniture, we'll be there. Puppy stain-away!
