Congratulations! You used excellent judgment in making a very practical decision about buying a Persian fine wool rug. Your beautiful carpet is tough and durable and will last for many years, in fact for several generations, if it is properly cared for. Let's offer some simple techniques to preserve the life and beauty of your carpet.
Moths and Storage:
One of the worst enemies of your Persian rug made of fine wool is the moths. Ugh! The good news is that carpet is rarely used if it is ever at risk of being infected with a moth. If you plan to store your mat, we suggest that you first check it for mole, and then wrap the carpet in a cloth, not plastic. Plastic retains moisture and can cause mold. Make sure your carpet is completely dry before storing it. Also, do not store the mat in a humid, hot, humid or poorly ventilated area.
Vacuuming:
We suggest vacuuming your mat at least once a week with a suction vacuum cleaner. Never use a rotor vacuum on a thin wool Persian rug. Be attentive to the fringe. Make sure that it doesn’t get into the brush, as it can break or break. Remember that fringe is part of the design of the carpet. Vacuum in the direction of the pile to prevent dirt from entering the mat.
Cleaning and washing:
Clean your mat when it looks soiled. There are no rules on how often to clean them. But we do not recommend trying to clean it yourself. Clean your carpet with a qualified cleaning person. Never use chemicals or steam on a thin Persian rug. For cleaning a thin carpet, only water and a mild detergent are always used.
Removing stains:
If something spills, immediately rinse the spill. Gently blot the area with an absorbent cloth or paper towel, picking up as much liquid as possible. Then dilute the spill with water and rinse again until moisture is absorbed by the towel. Repeat this process until all spill data has been deleted. Then use a hairdryer on a cold cycle to dry the mat, combing it during drying in the same direction as the pile. Be gentle. Do not overtighten it.
A terrible wine spill:
Pour salt into the bottle to soak in the liquid, then use a rounded spoon to remove the salt / wine from the carpet. Then rinse with cold water and blot dry.
Protect your carpet from the sun:
Part of the charm of owning an ancient Persian carpet is the change in color of the dye due to age and use. This patina is partly due to sun exposure. Nevertheless, we offer you to protect your carpet from sunlight as much as possible. Use window shades or curtains and rotate the carpet to even out the effects of sun and wear.
Oh! No, Fido, no! Alas, Pet Mishaps Happen:
We all love our pets. It is often difficult to limit them from your living area, and you do not want this. But, alas, pets sometimes have accidents on the carpet. If this happens to you, make sure you rinse the area well with paper towels. Use a vinegar solution of 1 cup of white vinegar to 2 glasses of water or a solution of 1 tablespoon of household ammonium to 1 cup of water. Apply. Then rinse the area well with cold water and blot the stain. To save yourself some pain, we recommend limiting Fido to another part of the house when you are not at home. We love Fido too. Therefore, make sure it is comfortable on your own dog mat and has a secure bone to entertain yourself in your absence.
Upholstery:
A good quality cushion can double the life of your carpet. It keeps it from trimming and moving on a hard surface. Buy a unit from the same company where you buy your mat. They will have the right choice for you.
Take care of your Persian carpet of fine wool, and it will serve you with warmth, glamor, and grace over many, many years. This is a treasured relic, starting with you! It can be passed on to your children, your grandchildren, or a good friend. We have a couple of our grandmothers. They are exquisite, but the most special thing is that they belong to our grandmother.
