Expert Advice
Regular Maintenance
- Vacuum Regularly – Vacuum your Oriental rugs weekly using suction only. Avoid using a rotating beater bar, as it can damage delicate fibers and fringes.
- Rotate Your Rug – Rotate your rug 180° every 6–12 months to promote even wear and prevent uneven fading from sunlight.
- Act Quickly on Spills – Blot spills immediately with a clean, white towel. Never rub the stain, as this can push it deeper into the fibers and damage the pile.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight – Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colours to fade. Use curtains or blinds.
- Use a Quality Rug Pad – A rug pad reduces wear, prevents slipping, protects your floors, and helps your rug maintain its shape.
- Keep Fringes Off High-Traffic Paths – Fringes are decorative and delicate. Avoid vacuuming over them and keep them away from heavy foot traffic.
- Have Your Rug Professionally Cleaned – Even with regular vacuuming, embedded grit and soil gradually wear down fibers. Professional cleaning every 2–5 years (or more often in busy households) helps preserve your rug's beauty and value.
