Oriental Rugs, Turkish Rugs Cleaning Tips - How To Care For Your Rug?
When you get a new handmade Oriental, Turkish rug or Tribal rug, you want it to last for many years and to look fabulous every day. After all, you have spent a lot of money on your rug and your rug is an investment. It will only increase in value over the years, which makes it that much more important to care for it properly.
The first part of caring for your rug is to ensure that it is cleaned regularly. You can vacuum your rug at least once a week, but when you do try to use low suction and keep the beater brush set so that it will only skim the surface of the pile. If you can use a carpet broom or a straw broom instead of a vacuum, that would be ideal. The key here is that you do not want to strip the natural lanolin out of your rug or it will become dry and loose its natural luster.
If you have a spill on your rug, then you can often clean it yourself by blotting it dry and then applying a solution of 2-3 drops of gentle soap and water or water and 1-2 teaspoons of white vinegar. Another good choice for soap is shampoo. It is gentle and designed to clean natural fibers. Do not use apple cider vinegar and do not rub the carpet. Only blot gently. In addition to this routine and spot cleaning, it is important to take your rug to a professional rug cleaner every 6 or 7 years.
There are occasions in which a rug might become wet, such as if your home was flooded. If your rug ever becomes wet or damp, you must hang it up immediately. A wet rug should never be left on the floor for any length of time. Hang the rug outside if possible and allow it to air dry. Make sure it is 100% dry both front and back before placing it on the floor once more.
Another important part of your rug care is to rotate the rug periodically. This is done for two reasons. One is that the areas of wear will be changed every so often, which will ensure that the rug is evenly worn over the years. The other reason to rotate the rug is to ensure that the rug is in different positions relative to the sunlight so that the natural fading of the rug colours will be even. Rotating once every few months is a good rule of thumb.
As you can see, regular rug care is not difficult, but ensuring it is done is important when it comes to the beauty and longevity of your rug. You want your rug to last for years and you want the value to increase. The rug might be something you want to give your children one day or something that you plan on selling later on. Either way, keeping your handmade rug clean and in good shape will ensure that you have a thing of beauty in your home for many years.
