Here’s a guide to the importance of Oriental rug protection and maintenance, as prepared by the expert New Jersey Oriental rug and carpet cleaning services here at Aladdin.
What to Do to Keep Your Rug Looking New:
- Vacuuming: This step is important to help remove the dust and dirt from the surface. When it comes to oriental rugs, you should only vacuum using a machine with adjustable suction or a beater bar to avoid damaging the delicate fibers.
- Rotation: Rotate your rug every 6 months to ensure even wear and tear. This way, no one spot will become worn or faded because of foot traffic.
- Spot Cleaning: Catch a spill or stain early on to avoid damage. Blot the area with a clean cloth and avoid rubbing as that will cause the stain to get pushed into the fibers.
Why Professional Cleaning and Protection Are So Important:
While regular maintenance is important, the dust and dirt still work its way down into the fibers over time and will take away from the sheen of your rug. It will also dull your rug over time and take away from the durability. When it comes to cleaning, Aladdin Oriental Rug offers professional cleaning services to remove any deeply embedded dirt that even a vacuum cannot reach.
