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
complement any
decor. An Oriental
rug is a purchase
for a lifetime and
will last for many
generations when
properly maintained.
The Wonders of Wool
Oriental rugs are
generally made of
wool and are easily
and economically
maintainable. Wool
rugs are extremely
durable and
consistently
out-perform other
materials. Unlike
other fibers, wool
is much more
resilient, cleans
better, and stays
clean longer.
Vacuuming
Perhaps the single
most important thing
you can do to
preserve and
maintain your rug is
vacuum it on a
regular basis to
remove surface and
embedded dirt and
restore life to the
fibers.
Cleaning
Depending on the
amount of traffic, a
professional washing
is recommended every
one to three years
to protect and
enhance 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.
Rug Pad
A quality rug pad
will protect your
rug from wear and
add comfort by
providing cushion
between your rug and
your hard floors and
prevent accidents by
keeping rugs from
slipping or
buckling. We will be
happy to provide you
with the correct
padding.
