Silk Rug Cleaning

Silk is a natural fiber

which is produced by the larvae of silk worms. It is also made artificially, but the quality is not that great.
Silk mainly comprises of fibroin, which is a really strong natural fiber, but if it gets wet, it losses about 20% of its strength. Silk can refract light rays that fall on it, and appear as a really beautiful, shimmery material. Because of this property and its strength, silk is widely used for making silk rugs. These rugs can be used for any room in your house and look absolutely stunning, especially if you utilize the right amount of light in the room.

For a long time, they have been used for decorative purposes in all parts of the world. Hereke silk rug is a popular type which has been used in palaces since the days of the sultans. These rugs are used exclusively by the royal class. Silk Turkish rugs and Kayseri silk rugs are also very popular.
