Azilal Berber rug
This Azilal originates from the Azilal region in he Atlas Mountains of Morocco. These rugs are typically made from natural wool, with a low pile height. The design on Azilal rugs are characterised by abstract geometric patterns, symbols and motifs that reflect the culture of the Berber women who weave the. They often use a colourful design on an undyed wool background.
Tribal rugs
Rug making is a female activity and it forms an integral part of the Berber communities.
Knowledge and skills are passed on from one generation to the next , from mother to daughter. Skills are acquired by observation and practice and require self discipline.
This means that every rag rug is not only a truly unique piece of art but also highly personalised through the weavers choice of colours and motifs.

Underlay : When do I need underlay?
I recommended using underlay if your rug is fairly lightweight, like a kilim or a thin short-pile rug, that is placed on a hard surface like wood, laminate or tiles.
In such cases your rug may slide, which can cause a safety hazard. Underlay would prevent this and will keep your rug in place.
Underlay also provides extra cushioning which makes the rug more comfortable to walk on. What’s more, it offers noise-reduction properties and may even increase the longevity of your rug.

Maintaining and caring for your rug
This Moroccan Berber rug from azilal is relatively low maintenance and only requires and occasional vacuum clean.
It is best to vacuum it on a lower setting and make sure you also do the reverse now and then as just as much dust accumulates there, as on the front.
Furthermore, it is sensible to give your rug a good shake outside every couple of months.
Stain treatment
The quicker you deal with spills, the less chance there is of it staining.
The effective way to treat a spill, for example red wine, is to apply water to begin with to dilute the stain, followed by mopping it with a kitchen towel straight away.
Start from the outside of the stain and work inwards to limit the affected area, but do not rub the stain as this can damage the yarn. Once a carpet gets wet, it is important to dry it out thoroughly afterwards, to prevent the wool from rotting.
Don’t use any bleach or chemical treatments as they might take the stain out, but leave a white stain instead.
When in doubt, professional carpet cleaning will always remain the best choice. If you need advice on this, pleased get in touch.
