Anji Mountain Bamboo Area Rugs
Frequently Asked Questions
Good for the Earth
- Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs are ecologically friendly. Bamboo has a robust root system that generates multiple new shoots for every culm (mature stalk) that is harvested.
- Unlike hardwood that can take decades to grow to a mature height ready for harvest, bamboo grows 8-12 feet a year! Therefore, closely regulated harvesting of sustainable bamboo forests is much more ecologically responsible than clear-cutting of old-growth hardwood forests.
What’s so special about the Anji Mountains?
- Unlike most tropical climates where bamboo grows, the Anji Mountains experience a freeze of approximately two months each year. The cold temperatures stop the sap flow which promotes slow growth that, consequently, produces a much denser, harder and more durable bamboo better suited for flooring use.
- Despite our logo, NO pandas live in the Anji Mountains. We are panda friendly!
What’s so special about your bamboo rugs?
- Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs are manufactured with a ventilated, non-slip rug pad backing. There is no need to buy an expensive rug pad...it's already attached!
- Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. traditional bamboo rugs are suitable for all indoor uses...accept no substitutes!
Are your rugs durable?
- Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. bamboo is harvested, processed, manufactured and assembled exclusively in the Anji Mountains of China.
- Our bamboo has been expertly carbonized (naturally removing moisture and oils) and kiln dried (further removing moisture) to help prevent cracking and warping. These crucial steps are taken to assure our rugs are ready to withstand the dry heat of your home in the wintertime or the arid climate of those living in the desert and mountains.
- Our bamboo is machine planed and sanded—then hand-sanded in an extra step to assure the smoothest and finest quality finish possible.
- Our rugs are manufactured with color-coordinated polypropylene borders that last longer and are more stain-resistant than cotton borders. Our borders are micro-stitched and bound with mitered corners for better wear and a more attractive finish.
- Each rug is packaged with an 8” x 11” color photo label complete with individual UPC number.
- Individually packaged in a reusable, zippered/draw-string canvas bag complete with a carry handle for easy transport and storage!
Rug Care
- Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. rugs clean easily with a damp cloth or mop.
- Natural fading will occur in direct sunlight.
- If the bamboo rug gets wet...the bamboo should be wiped dry, the rug should be hung to air dry completely and, most importantly, the surface the rug lays on should be air dried completely before laying the rug back down.
- Use protective felt, rubber or plastic casters on furniture legs to prevent scratching the surface of the bamboo.
