A rag rug is a rug or mat made from rags. Small pieces of recycled fabric are either hooked into or poked through a hessian backing, or else the strips are braided or plaited together to make a mat. Other names for this kind of rug are derived from the material (clippy or clootie rug) or technique (proggie or proddie rug, poke mats and peg mats).
Rug hooking is both an art and a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a stiff woven base such as burlap, linen, or rug warp. The loops are pulled through the backing material by using a crochet -type hook mounted in a handle (usually wood) for leverage.
Woven rugs include both flat rugs (for example kilims) and pile rugs. [2] The more tightly a rug is woven or knotted, the more detailed a design can be. "It is generally believed that the density of knots, the age, the material, and the rarity of the design or knots determines the value of a carpet. ..." [This quote needs a citation]
A 98% biodegradable or other, [2] slightly moist absorbent cleaning compound may be spread evenly over carpet and brushed or scrubbed in. For small areas, a household hand brush can work such a compound into carpet pile; working like "tiny sponges", the attracted cleaning solution dissolves dirt, and dirt and grime is attracted/absorbed to the compound.
The use of encapsulation to create a crystalline residue that can be immediately vacuumed (as opposed to the dry powder residue of wet-cleaning systems, which generally requires an additional day before vacuuming) is a newer technology that has recently become an accepted method for commercial and residential carpet deep cleaning.
Though rya means "rug" in English, the original meaning in Sweden of rya was a bed cover with a knotted pile. [3] The first ryas originated in the early fifteenth century as coarse, long-piled, heavy covers used by mariners instead of furs. [4] As time progressed, the rugs have evolved to be lighter and more colorful. [4]
