A Step By Step Guide To Care For Your Hand-Knotted Rug

 It's crucial to regularly maintain and care for your rug for it to last. Hand-knotted rugs are an investment, so it's important that you extend their life. Here are ways to take care of your rug:

Regular Vacuuming Between Professional Cleaning Sessions

The base of a rug pile usually traps sand and grit from the surface, which in turn damages the wool triggering rug pile loss.Regular vacuuming helps to remove surface dirt and dust trapped within the fibers, although it does not remove all the dirt from the pile base. We recommend that you use only the suction attachment in your vacuum cleaner as the beater brush pulls out a small fraction of piles with every vacuuming session, which can damage the fringe over time.

Get a Rug Pad

Rug pads are particularly beneficial to hand-knotted rugs to help preserve their life. They keep the rugs firmly in place, which prevents slipping and accidents. They act as noise buffers; they provide softness and cushioning, prevent scratches on the floor, and reduce the formation of wrinkles. You can use rug pads on tiled, hardwood, or concrete floors.

Rotate Your Rug Periodically to Minimize Wear

Placing your rug in a bright and sunlit room makes it fade, just as traffic on rugs can make it wear over time. Rotate your rug 180° degrees occasionally to prevent uneven wear and fading. You can also use window blinds to prevent direct sun on your rug.

Avoid Pet Urine on Your Handmade Rug

Animal urine has adverse results on handmade rugs. It makes the rug emit an unpleasant smell, cause dry rot and decolorize the rug. Pets may be difficult to control; hence accidents may occur frequently. Use clean water, mild soap, or soda water to clean the rug. Pets usually have a urine pattern of urinating in the same place. Take your rug for professional cleaning if a pet keeps urinating in a particular spot.

Caring for your rugs doesn't require much effort. Rugs exposed to higher traffic do collect more dirt, so depending on the traffic in your home, you can get it professionally cleaned to extend its life.
