Cleaning and care for oriental rugs.
Oriental rugs, beautiful area rugs should be cared for
by a carpet and upholstery cleaning specialist, there are many different fibres used in these rugs from many different origins, so professional cleaning off premises is always advised.
There are however a few things you can do yourself in order to keep your rug in the best possible condition.
Firstly if you spill something, mop it up immediately, use a clean white cloth or a few tissues, place it over the spillage and stand on it to absorb as much up as possible. If you plan on using your own carpet cleaning machine, although we advise against it, always use cold water, hot water can damage some fibres, so be careful.
Vacuum your rug regularly, on both sides!
Have your rug professionally cleaned on a regular basis, approximately every 2 years or so for low traffic areas, and once they have been cleaned, ask for them to have a stain shield applied afterwards. This will help you clean up stains far more easily and minimise the damage some deposits can cause.
