Soon after the weaving, the rug is washed by a bucket or two of water by using non-harmful detergent and chemicals. Saving water is a rigorous belief we at The Drugget & Parquetry live by. During a wash the chemical water is dispersed through a man-made sewer and is collected in a septic tank. Once the chemical is settled below, the water is used to irrigate crops on a field as the processed water tends to act as a chemical fertilizer and aids in it’s growth. Furthermore, the collected waste is then disposed of carefully to designated landfills.
