Cleaning Persian Rugs

Persian rugs are among the finest hand woven carpets ever made. They are Expensive, Durable and are filled with Splendor, that’s why they are also referred to as Persian Antiques. Among other things, they are an expensive investment in the house hence they require a lot of care and attention while cleaning.

A well-kept Persian rug can stay for a long time in your house without losing its splendor, softness and brightness. But what is required to be done for them to maintain their initial condition? Any time you are unsure of what to do when your rug gets a stain, call professional cleaners like Pure Dry Cleaners to take care of this valuable asset in your home.

Wine Spills

The Old Persian carpets where made of materials, which have stain repellent properties and could last for over 70 to 100 years from one generation to the other without being used up. It is mostly advised to avoid using any home detergent to remove stains from a rug because most of them cause permanent discoloration. Drink spills (wine) are supposed to be worked on immediately before staining the rug by using salt to absorb the liquid and a little moisture on a clean cloth.

Potted Plants

It is strongly recommended to avoid placing potted plants on top of the rug because it tends to absorb the moisture since it is made of wool, causing irreversible damage to the carpet.

Avoid Carpet Treating and Steaming

Persian rugs are made with durable, lustrous wool rich in lanolin (natural) so it is advised to not use treatments like moth proofing and steam cleaning methods to preserve its natural properties. Instead, have the carpet professionally washed by experience Persian rug cleaners after every year or so depending on the dirt or stain on it.

Electric Vacuum Cleaners

Electric vacuum cleaners with rotating heads should not actually be used to clean hand woven Persian rugs because they tend to remove knots through the rotary action, leaving it with tattered edges. It is recommended to use a broom, which has straw bristles in cleaning the rugs if rug cleaners are not available, instead of using a modern vacuum cleaner.

Always Leave the Cleaning to the Expert

Rug cleaning can be done by the owner but once in a while, it requires thorough cleaning and maintenance by professional cleaners with the skills and special equipment for cleaning Persian rugs. This will maintain its colour, value and texture. Always call Pure Dry Cleaners to clean your valuable Persian Rug with minimal cost and guaranteed results.
