Persian Rug Care & Maintenance

Hand-knotted Persian carpets are remarkably resilient and can endure for generations when cared for properly.

Daily & Weekly Care

  • Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using suction only. Avoid using heavy beater bars or brush rollers on delicate wool pile or fringe edges.
  • Rotation: Rotate your carpet 180 degrees once a year to ensure uniform wear and even exposure to natural sunlight.
  • Rug Pads: Always use a high-quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping, absorb foot-traffic shock, and protect the foundation.

Cleaning & Spills

  • Immediate Action: Blot spills immediately with a dry, clean white cotton cloth. Do not rub or scrub vigorously.
  • Detergents: Avoid harsh chemical stain removers or bleach. For stubborn spots, use lukewarm water with mild natural dish soap.
  • Professional Cleaning: Have your hand-knotted carpet professionally hand-washed every 3 to 5 years by a specialist who understands natural dyes and wool fibers.
