Fine oriental rugs are masterpieces of textile artistry. They are prized possessions that are often handed down as family heirlooms and they require special care.
These easy-to-follow tips will help prolong the life of your oriental rug and keep it beautiful for years to come.
- Turn the rug 180⁰ every year to avoid uneven fading and wear.
- Vacuum in the direction of the nap, avoiding the fringe, and don't use the beater bar.
- Vacuum frequently, at least once per week.
- If your rug is under a solid piece of furniture, make sure to check for moths periodically and have it mothproofed if you are planning to store it for a prolonged period of time.
- Good quality rug padding can prolong the life of your carpet. Call Doug's Rug Care at (814) 808-5071 for more information about our rug pads.
- Don't let stains set. See our Frequently Asked Questions page for helpful stain-removal tips.
- Have your carpet professionally cleaned by a certified rug care facility every 1 to 3 years, depending on traffic and other environmental conditions like the presence of pets or smokers.
