Rug Care and Cleaning

Taking Care of Your Vintage Rug

The durability and organic nature of vintage rugs makes maintaining them quite simple. The most important thing is making sure you have a cleaning routine in place.

Vacuuming is your best friend

Vacuuming is by far the best way to ensure your rug stays clean and free of dirt. Vacuuming once every
other week will keep the dirt away from settling in the pile. Avoid vacuuming the fringes and always
vacuum in the same direction as the pile.

Rotating once a year

Rotating the rug once a year ensures that all sides of the rug gets even foot traffic and the natural fading
of the pile with time is more even

Avoid chemical cleaners

Chemical cleaners are totally off-limits. Strong chemicals may damage the natural dyes used and
damage the rug irreparably and decrease its life-span

Clean minor spills immediately

It is only natural that overtime there might be minor spills or stains. Hand-Knotted rugs are much better
at handling spills than their synthetic counter parts; however, you should act fast as stains that have
dried are harder to remove. If there is a spill, firmly blot it with a soft cloth or towel such as microfiber.
Then, place a towel under the rug and run some water through it until the stain rinses out.

Consider professional cleaning

It is recommended to get your rug professionally cleaned once every couple of years to ensure it stays in
the best shape possible.

Remember, this vintage rug has already stood the test of time and has proven its quality and durability.
If taken care of properly, it will stay in great shape for years and years.
