Proper care ensures your handmade rug retains its beauty for generations. These guidelines protect your investment while maintaining appearance.
Regular Vacuuming
Weekly vacuuming prevents dirt from settling into the pile. Use suction only—avoid beater bars that can damage fibers. Vacuum in the pile direction.
Rotation
Rotate rugs every 6-12 months to distribute wear and sun exposure evenly, preventing traffic patterns and fading.
Spot Cleaning
Blot spills immediately—never rub. Use cool water and mild detergent. Test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first.
Professional Cleaning
Schedule professional cleaning every 1-3 years depending on use. Choose specialists experienced with handmade rugs.
Protection
Use quality rug pads. Protect from direct sunlight. Address moth prevention in storage situations.
