Fire tests have been performed in accordance with BS 4790:1987 (2009) and BS EN ISO 11925-2:2002. Fire test 1: ‘The Hot Metal Nut Test' to test the effect of a small source of ignition – the results for our rugs confirmed a classification of ‘Low'. BS 4790 classifications are: High being the worst result and Low being the best result. Fire Test 2: To test ‘Ignitability when subjected to direct impingement of flame' and the results classified in accordance with BS EN 13501-1:2002. The results for our rugs confirmed a flame retardant classification of ‘Class Cfl-s1'. Essentially this means the material would make a ‘limited contribution to fire' and the ‘quantity and speed of smoke emission during combustion would be absent or weak'

All products are handmade, largely from natural materials. Accordingly, there could well be minor discrepancies (in products as delivered) from any specifications, designs, samples, colours provided or shown to you.
There could be a +/-3% tolerance in colour due to the handmade nature of the product alongside a +/- 3% tolerance in the size.
If any residue is left, a solution of carpet shampoo and warm water with a teaspoonful of white vinegar can be used. Carefully blot with a cloth soaked and well squeezed out. Allow to dry and vacuum. Carefully comb the pile in its natural direction to remove any matting. Do not be tempted to throw on anything like salt/soap powder/white wine on red etc. This will only exacerbate the problem, as most of these so-called quick fixes are worse than useless.
