ORIENTAL RUGS FOR GENERATION TO COME
For over 2500 years, oriental rugs have been used in the East by nomads
and villagers for warmth and beauty. More recently in the West,
they have graced homes with their art and luxury, and complement
any décor.
An Oriental rugs is a purchased for a lifetime and will last many
generations when properly maintained. The information contained
in this brochure
offers simple, basic advice for the protection and care of your
investment.
THE WONDERS OF WOOL
Oriental rugs are generally made of wool and are easily economically maintainable.
Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently out-perform other
materials. Unlike other fibers, wool is much more resilient, cleans
better, and stays longer.
CLEANING
A professional Oriental rug cleaning will enhance your carpets, bringing
out the richness of color and softness of the wool. Depending on the
amount of traffic, a professional washing is recommended every one to
three years for the cleaning of your Oriental rug.
ROTATION
To insure even wear, your rugs 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.
PADDING
A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear and
slippage. We will be happy to provide you with the correct padding.
RESTORATION
In case of damage, just about any problem has a solution with a professional
restoration. Old and antique rugs sometimes need to be rewoven where
worn and restored to life. Newer rugs are rarely in need of repair.
An experienced professional must always be consulted in these matters.
