Top Three Things to Maintain Your Oriental Rug

​

1. Have your rugs washed on a regular basis? You may not notice. But oriental and area rugs gradually get dirty even in the cleanest homes. It is when you have them cleaned you really notice how dirty they were. Proper cleaning will remove all that harmful dirt that is hiding deep within the pile. These dirt fibers cut through the pile and cause premature wear. Remember ‘it’s true’ that clean rugs last longer. Proper cleaning will also remove larvae and insects and reducing moth activity.
2. Rotate you rug on a regular basis. Rotating your rug is like rotating the tires on your car. They last much longer by promoting even wear. Continues and repetitive traffic over the same area over a long period will create worn areas and that will reduce the value of your Persian and oriental rugs considerably.  Entrance ways, under the desk or dining room table where you rest your feet are places you never notice wear until it is too late. When you have your rugs washed, have the carpet cleaner roll out your rug in the opposite direction.
3. Vacuum your rugs weekly. When you vacuum your oriental rugs weekly, this will help destroy any moth or larvae activity. Also inspect the ends and edges. That where most rugs first see deterioration. If you suspect any damage or insect activity, call a carpet cleaning professional.
