Tips for Oriental rug Cleaning

Oriental rugs are becoming indispensable in interior design. Because oriental rugs come in different colours and designs, there is almost certainly one that is perfect for your home out there. What matters most is the care and maintenance of these oriental rugs. You may be aware of the fact that Persian rugs are very popular. These Persian rugs have to be cleaned periodically to ensure long life of the rug. Thankfully, the Persian rugs are very easy to clean. However, several factors have to be considered for effective cleaning of these Persian rugs. This passage is about the different tools and methods used for cleaning the Persian rugs.

1. Using the Vacuum Cleaner
Vacuum Cleaners can effectively clean the dust particles from the rugs instantly. The main advantage of using the vacuum cleaners is that you don't need to move the rug for cleaning it. Though cleaning the Persian rugs using a vacuum cleaner will be very easy, you should make sure that you don’t push deep into the fibre, as the rug will wear out. Do not use the beater setting the vacuum must be on its most gentle setting to avoid breaking down the delicate rug fibres.

2. Brushing the Oriental Rugs
The natural material of the Persian rugs will make them look like hair. These hairs rugs need brushing too. You can use a comb or a soft brush to make the grains of the rug full again. The rugs should be brushed whenever they are washed and dried.

3. Cleaning & Drying the Persian/Oriental Rugs
You can wash your small Persian rugs by hand. The only thing to pay attention to is not to use any harsh detergents with bleaching agents. We recommend a gentle detergent. Test a small section of the rug before washing it. When it comes to drying the Persian rug, people make a big mistake by using the dryer. You should always hang dry the Persian rug under shade for the best results. Sun will bleach the rug. The rug will dry faster if you use a wet-vac to draw the water out before hanging up to dry. Large rugs should be brought to professionals to clean.
