  • It only takes two years to fully mature, making it more sustainable than using trees.
  • Suppliers do not need to use pesticides or fertilizers when growing bamboo.

  • Bamboo has some amazing lungs! Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and can create 35% more oxygen than an equivalent of trees!

Can I put a Bamboo Rug Outside?

Sure you can. However keep in mind most bamboo rugs are not to be considered traditional outdoor rugs.  Bamboo rugs can handle changes in temperature and humidity quite well.  However they’re not meant to be left in an uncovered area. Do you have a gazebo? Check. How about a 3 season room? Check.

Will Bamboo Fade?

Sure will! As will most things left in direct sunlight.  This doesn’t change the function or quality at all, and many of our customers own bamboo rugs that have been in sunny spots for years.  They certainly don’t lose all their color, it’s just something to keep in mind.  Want a pro tip? If your bamboo rug is placed in a location that gets partial or full direct sun exposure for more than an hour or two every day, simply rotate it every so often! That way your bamboo rug is sure to stay even.

How To Clean Bamboo Rugs

Fortunately, bamboo is a low-maintenance material. To prevent dirt buildup, regularly shake out the rug gently. Also, wipe up any spills immediately. Dab at them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not use chemicals!  If the rug is too large to shake out, simply use a vacuum on a hardwood setting to avoid potential scraping from the vacuum's bar.
