What You Need To Know About Care And Maintenance Of Oriental Rugs

By Jordan Schmidt


Many homeowners are opting to add carpets in their homes for several reasons. To start with, the rugs are very efficient when it comes to preventing the feet from getting cold from the cold floors. Last, they are a great way to decorate the room and give it character. Proper maintenance of oriental rugs will protect them from getting ruined before their time is up. Here are a few useful tips.

With time and use, rugs get soiled. This means you have to consider the aspect of having to clean the carpets from time to time. Ask for expert opinion on the most suitable cleaning method depending on the yarns used to make a rug. Note that with the use of water to clean the mats you risk the mats not drying out completely. This could lead to rot and mildew, which is not healthy.

Another thing you need to worry about is the cleaning supplies that you use in the cleaning process. Due to the fact that the mat fabrics are made from threads, they may react with certain chemicals and get ruined. This means that you have to read the care labels and make sure that you follow the cleaning instructions carefully.

Another thing a homeowner needs to know is that not all mats will wear out at the same speed. This is because certain parts of the home are trafficked more than others. When making purchases; go for extra heavy duty carpets for areas that are stepped on more often.

Another common concern that comes when dealing with a rug is stain removal. Stubborn stains such as wine, juice, soup and paint may take a lot of effort to get out. In case your rug gets a stain, ask an expert to help with the process of removal.

There are also treatments that are very good in preventing the rug from staining. Before buying a rug, ask if it had been treated to a stain resistant and shrink resistant finish. This way, you will go home with a rug that is easier to deal with.

Loss of the beautiful original color is another reason why people shy away from carpets. The two sources of color loss in all upholstery in the home are UV rays from the sun and inappropriate cleaning agents. Getting tinted windows will minimize UV rays and maintain the color of your rug. Proper cleaning by experts will prevent color loss due to harsh cleaning products.

These are the care procedures that should be applied by everyone that wants to be served by their rug for a long time. The most important thing is reading the care instructions that come with the carpets before taking them home. In case you have a stain or a maintenance issue you are not sure about how to handle, you should always consult an expert. This will help your rug stay in top shape for a long time.
