How does a jute rug feel?

Texture is subjective. One customer left this comment as part of their review for our Chunk Natural Jute Barker Bleach Rug: It's not very comfortable to sit on or stay standing on for long periods of time. I'm not sure why I was so surprised by this. Regardless, my partner and I are not bothered at all. It took a day to get used to, and the feeling when you walk on it is similar to wearing those spiky massage sandals. When you are sitting and resting your feet on the rug, it's... pleasantly refreshing."

Can Jute Rugs get wet?

Jute rugs are not recommended to get wet. If a Jute Rug gets wet, try to place the jute rug in an area or space where the jute rug can dry out. If a jute rug becomes wet, this can affect the performance of a jute rug. A wet jute rug can become moldy & can rot. The fibres of a wet jute rug can also warp & lose shape.

Does jute humidify air?

Jute itself does not humidify air, but it can absorb moisture from the environment. When jute is present in a humid environment, it can help to regulate humidity levels by absorbing excess moisture. Conversely, in a dry environment, it can release moisture back into the air. So, while jute doesn't actively humidify air, it does play a role in moisture regulation.
