Care Of Oriental Carpets And Rugs

Oriental Carpets are one of the most cherished and valuable items in your home and you should be taken care of properly. For one, I am not one of those who preach that you should be very gentle with your carpet. You should enjoy it and use it to get the full benefits of having such a beautiful item; so walk on it, lie down and relax on it, play games with your children on it, after all children will have great memories of playing on a colorful carpet.

So how do we take care of these beautiful rugs? Good housekeeping is essential but you do not have to be a fanatic. Handmade carpets are generally quite tough and will stand to and benefit from regular vacuum cleaning and if possible good airing outside when it is sunny. If you have furniture placed on them it is very important that it should be lifted occasionally and both sides of the rug should be vacuumed. This will ensure that you do not get moth infestations.

Any spillages can be soaked up with a paper towel or sponge and leave to dry on its own. If you see a color run you should contact a local rug dealer for their help.

Grit is the most common reason for a premature wear of the wool pile. I would personally recommend regular professional cleaning once every three to five years to make sure that there is no build up of grit inside your carpet.

Just use common sense, avoid using harsh cleaning products and your carpet will last you and your future generations to come.
