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.
