Rug care and maintenance

If you wish to keep your Persian and Oriental rugs looking beautiful for years to come, it is essential to take good care of them by cleaning and maintaining them in the correct manner.

First and foremost, vacuum your rug regularly to prevent dirt, dust, and debris from settling deep into the fibres. However, in case of spills or stains, it is crucial to act quickly. 

Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can damage the rug's fibers and colors. To clean your rug from spills, it is best to blot the area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to remove as much of the liquid as possible. Then, use a damp cloth to clean the area.

Over time, your rug may accumulate dirt, dust, and stains that cannot be removed with regular vacuuming or spot cleaning. In this case, it is recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned.

And last, but definitely not least, when choosing the location of the rug, make sure to keep it away from windows and doors where it could be exposed to sunlight or rain. Protection from direct sunlight and moisture will keep the color and texture intact for longer.
