Basic Steps For The Care & Protection Of Oriental Rugs.
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.
Vacuuming - Oriental rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure
not to vacuum the fringe with your beater bar! Use the end of a vacuum hose from a canister vacuum.
Padding - A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear and slippage.
Spot and Spill Procedures - Make sure that you safely and immediately clean up spots and spills before they set.
-
First, soak up the excess liquid by blotting with a clean absorbent material. Do not brush or rub the stain
-
Then spot-clean with a mild detergent-white vinegar-water solution. Do-not over wet.
-
Rinse area thoroughly with water and a small amount of vinegar. Avoid wetting the rug's backing.
-
Blot dry until most of the moisture has been absorbed.
-
Allow to air dry. A fan or cool hair dryer can be used to hasten the drying process.
-
For stains that do not come out using these methods, ask our cleaning specialists.
