Looking After Your Priceless Oriental Rug
Your oriental carpet is surely one of the most precious accessories in your home. If you are wondering how to look after the priceless asset, here are some tips. Firstly, make sure to vacuum your oriental fabric regularly which is much needed to blow off all the abrasive soil and grit that wears the silk and wool fibers down. Be careful when you go closer to the carpet fringes. Rotate your rug periodically since the carpets tend to wear faster in the places that receive much foot traffic. Don’t expose it too much to the bright sun-rays as the rugs get faded quickly in the harsh sun shine.
You also have to use the high quality rug underlay or padding. It would support the carpet with a cushioning effect resulting in less tear and wear. It invariably enhances your rug-life. But what do you do in case of the panicky spillages? Very slowly blot up that spillage with a good absorbent small towel. Never rub the place as it permanently damages the rich carpet fiber. The regular stain removers would be equally damaging since these are usually oxidizers. Lastly, don’t forget to go for professional rug dusting and washing once in every eighteen months.
