Oushak Rugs
Oushak rugs (at times spelled Usak) are decorative rugs woven in western Turkey, south of Istanbul. Oushak rugs have a distinct design usually consisting of large-scale floral or geometric allover patterns with vibrant colors. Oushak craftsmanship is considered to be one of the finest, as they not only consider the quality but also the carpet’s aesthetic appeal, often using high grade wool which results in a soft and comfortable feel underfoot. Modern oushaks are known for their soft, muted color palettes usually consisting of earth tones accented with blues, greens, and terracotta. With distinct hues and their unique style and elegance they remain popular around the world and with today's design community.

How to clean an Oushak rug?
We recommend vacuuming on the lowest suction setting and to vacuum on both sides.
If there is a spill you can spot clean by blotting the area with a dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then mix a small amount of mild soap or detergent with water and test the solution in a small area to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration. If there is none then using a sponge or cloth blot the area with the solution then blot with clean water to rinse then blot with a dry towel to absorb excess water.
For deep cleaning, we highly recommend utilizing professional services, and Jubin Rugs is the ideal choice for this. Our reputable team, with years of experience in the cleaning and repair of hand-woven rugs, ensures the highest standards of care and expertise.
