For over 2,500 years, oriental rugs have been used in the East by nomads and villagers for warmth and beauty. In the West, they have more recently graced homes with their art and luxury, complementing any décor. An oriental rug is a lifetime purchase and will last many generations when properly maintained. The information in this brochure offers simple, basic advice for protecting and caring for your investment.
Oriental rugs are generally made of wool and are easily and economically maintained. Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently outperform other materials. Unlike other fibers, wool is much more resilient, cleans better, and stays clean longer.
Your trusted professional oriental rug cleaner will ensure a skilled cleaning that brings out the richness of color and softness of the wool. Depending on the amount of traffic, a professional washing is recommended every one to three years for the cleaning of your oriental rug.
To ensure even wear, your rug should be rotated once a year. Depending on the traffic, the rotation may vary from six months to two years.
Oriental rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed regularly to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure not to vacuum the fringe. Vacuum the back of the rug annually.
A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear, and slippage. We will be happy to recommend the correct padding.
In case of damage, just about any problem can be solved with professional restoration. Old and antique rugs sometimes need to be rewoven where worn and restored to life. Newer rugs are rarely in need of repair. An experienced professional must always be consulted in these matters.
