Fine
oriental rugs, like heirloom quality antiques in general, can be
preserved and passed down from generation to generation with a
little expert care. Our cleaning and restoration services can bring
out the hidden beauty of soiled rugs as well as re-pile worn areas
of otherwise well piled rugs.
- For
day to day cleaning, your vacuum will do an excellent job of
removing surface soil. It is advisable to use your vacuum
attachments to reach under furniture for protection against moths,
a potential threat to the life span of your Oriental
Rug.
- If you
should spill a liquid, use white paper towels to soak up excess
moisture; then test the rug's patterns of color by rubbing them
with a wet, white towel and seeing if any color runs on the
towel. If not, then, wet, rinse and blot again, raising the
wet area until dry. For food spills, try to remove as carefully as
possible with a dull knife, then follow the same steps as for
liquids.
- If you
should have to store your carpet for any length of time, take care
to pack your Oriental rug with moth repellents, and wrap in sheet
of fabric.
- When
arranging your furniture, it's wise to have some sort of
protection under the legs to prevent the carpet fibers from being
crushed.
- Lastly, most
Oriental rugs benefit from a professional washing, but send them
only to an expert who understands the care and extra attention
they require.
