For over 2,500 years, oriental rugs have been used in the East by nomads and villagers for warmth and beauty. More recently in the West, they have graced homes with their art and luxury, and go with any décor. An Oriental rug is a purchase for a lifetime and when properly maintained, for generations. The information contained in this brochure offers simple, basic advice for the protection and care of your investment.
The Wonders of Wool
Oriental rugs are generally made of wool and are easily and economically maintained. Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently out-perform other materials. Unlike other fibers, wool is much more resilient, cleans better and stays clean longer.
Cleaning
Your trusted professional Oriental rug cleaners will insure 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 three to six years for the cleaning of your Oriental rug.
Rotation
To insure even wear, your rug should be rotated once a year. Depending on the traffic, the rotation may vary from six months to two years.
Vacuuming
Oriental rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure not vacuum the fringe.
Padding
A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from the dirt, wear and slippage. We will be happy to provide you with the correct padding.
Restoration
In case of damage, just about any problem has a solution with a 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.
Blotting & Stain Removing
When spills occur, dilute with plenty of water. Next, blot from the edge of the spill towards the center. Avoid rubbing the area. For solid spills, take a spoon and carefully scoop-up the material. It is always best to attack the spill immediately. The following information and chart will help you eliminate most stains. For further advice, contact us. We will be glad to help.
