How to maintain the Persian rug at home?



The Persian rug might be the most expensive and most beloved decorative item in your home. Chances are you will try to keep it away from any harm or damage because you know the effort, creative skill and money invested in the rug.


Your Persian rug can indeed be among your dearest possessions that you want to preserve for a long time, and you will probably also want it to look new and fresh forever. A few measures can preserve the life of your Persian rug as well as its beautiful appearance.


• Always use a vacuum cleaner under low pressure to clean away the dust particles on the Persian rug. Avoid using soap, shampoo or bleach agents to remove stains from the rug surface, as these substances can cause serious damage to your rug.


• Protect the Persian rug from exposure to direct sunlight, which might fade the colors. Keep the rug as far as possible from windows or doors where the direct sunlight might harm the colors. Turn the rug frequently and regularly to maintain an even color pattern.


• If you wish to hang the Persian rug on the wall do not use nails – make use of clamps to avoid any damage to the rug.


• Use the right kind of padding to keep the Persian rug in place after consulting a professional, as any ordinary padding could harm the rug, especially if the rug has a silk foundation.


• Avoid brushing or combing the Persian rug, as this could damage the fine wool pile or even unruffle the knots that are woven in the rug.


These simple steps can help you maintain the Persian rug for a long time. If you still have any doubts or questions, you should contact a professional rug cleaner who will advise you.
