Originating in Samarina Greece, Flokati area rugs are made of 100% wool and are shaggy in appearance. In the early era of agriculture, sheep were primarily used for meat and dairy, but eventually shepherds began using wool and developed early forms of weaving. Although rug weaving has become a refined art over millennia, Flokati rugs have retained their stylistic shaggy appearance, which became a hit in America in the 1970s. A special cold water soaking process is used to create their unique pile. As it is fire and stain resistant thanks to the natural properties of wool, Flokati has been used for both bedding and floor covering.
Due to the precious quality of Flokati area rugs, it is best to avoid placing heavy furniture on top of them, and to get them cleaned and maintained professionally instead of at home. They require experienced, IICRC-certified cleaners to address their unique needs, and to prevent further damage from occurring in the cleaning process. It is always more financially sensible to rely on professional cleaners than it is to have to purchase a new, high quality oriental rug, so call (732)-456-5511 to receive a quote for the specialized care of your Flokati rug.
