How to Care for Your Oriental Rug at Home

Do you know how to care for your handmade Persian rugs and Oriental rugs? Fine handmade Persian and Oriental rugs are an investment and considered fine art pieces. To care for these rugs you need to know the following…

If you buy and collect handmade Persian rugs and Oriental rugs, then you should know that they must be cared for properly to extend their life and value. These handmade rugs come in different styles, patterns, sizes, and quality levels, which affects their value and the way they look.

ANCIENT RUG CARE AND CLEANING

These elegant works of fine art need to undergo rug-cleaning in a way that has been practiced and perfected throughout centuries. 

The best and simplest way to remove debris from your rug at home is to sweep or broom and maintain your rug regularly by vacuuming using suction only- no beater brush. 

If liquid is spilled on a Persian rug or Oriental rug, blot with a cloth, paper towel, or sponge. Do not rub the spill into the rug fibers. All rugs must have padding underneath. Not only will your rug not slip, but padding also prevents scratching and color transfer to the underlying surface.

Things NOT to DO to Your Rug at Home:

  1. Do Not Vacuum with Beater Bar or Beater Brush
  2. Do Not use Harsh Detergents or Spot Remover
  3. Do Not Place Rug in Damp Areas
  4. Do Not Place Rug in Direct Heat
  5. Do Not Place Rug in Direct Sunlight for long periods
