At Delray Beach Oriental Rug Cleaning Pros, we’re happy to share a few tips about preserving your area rug. Remember that soil and dust particles are acting like tiny razor blades sawing away at the fibers of your rug when you walk on it. Try to vacuum often, and avoid the fringes (The fringes in most cases are an extension of the foundation of your rug. You want to avoid damage to the fringes). It is also important to rotate your rug to avoid continually walking over the same spots (remember the soil and dust acting like tiny scabbards). You should also be on the lookout for sun fade, which can be mitigated to some degree by rotation—although sun fade is something you want to try to avoid altogether.

 

Sun fade is very difficult to correct, if not impossible. When you move, or when you purchase a new rug, you should be conscious of how the light from your windows will affect the rug. Be particular about skylights. Also be aware that you may not see a full day’s effect if you are not home during the day to observe how the

light falls at different times. We advocate a coating for your windows, which will block much of the harmful rays. We have had this done in our own home. If this is not possible, consider curtains and shades. Once the rug becomes faded unevenly, it is virtually impossible to even out the color.

 

Although this advice may impart the feeling that your rug is fragile and requires a lot of care, the opposite is true. Area rugs are extremely durable and will last a lot longer than wall-to-wall carpeting if you take care of them. This is essentially: wash them periodically, vacuum, and keep them away from harmful sunlight, moths and your young animals. You will be able to enjoy your rug for your lifetime.
