Oriental Rugs... For A Lifetime and Generations | | For over 2,500 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 go with any decor. An oriental rug is purchased for a lifetime and when properly maintained, for generations. The information contained on this page offers simple, basic advise for the protection and care of your investment. | | | | The Wonders of Wool | | Oriental rugs are generally made of wool and are easily and economically maintained. Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently out-preform other materials. Unlike other fibers, Wool's so much more resilient, cleans better , and stays clean longer. | | | | Rotation | | To insure even wear, your rug 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 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 re-woven where worn and restored to life. Newer rugs are rarely in need of repair. An experienced professional must always be consulted in these matters. |
