More than function, Persian Rugs are bought for their beauty and value. Homeowners normally choose their rugs to match their interior décor and style.

It is not difficult to care for your Persian rugs. The basic rules are not to put them in high traffic areas and in areas where they can be hit by direct sunlight. You also have to clean your rugs regularly to prevent dust from settling into the threads and weaves. You can run your vacuum cleaner through your rugs once a week. You can also shake the dirt particles off your rugs and hang your rugs out to air once every month.

It is also important to pay attention to spots and stains right away. Be mindful of the substances that you use in cleaning your rugs. Harsh chemicals can ruin a perfectly good Persian rug in a second. Experts recommend simply blotting out the spill with a towel and getting as much of the liquid by dabbing and gentle rubbing. If the stain still does not come off, you can consult professional carpet cleaners for expert tips on how to successfully get rid of the stain.

It would be a shame not to take care of your Persian rugs properly. Pretty soon, you can end up with a threadbare, frayed, or faded Persian carpet that dampens instead of brightens the way your home interior looks. Some would argue that carpets are made to be used on the floor. There is no disputing that. However, proper care will allow you to get more use out of your Persian rug.
