The beauty and quality of your hand woven rug can be maintained for decades with proper care and cleaning. Regular vacuuming will help prevent dust getting into the foundation of the rug. Avoid using the vacuum on any fringe as the fringe may get caught in the beater brush. To extend the life of your rug, turn it 180 degree every year. This helps to even out your rugs exposure to traffic and sunlight.

Over time, grit and dirt become embedded so deeply that it can cut the fibers if not removed by a professional rug cleaning service. Depending on the amount of traffic, it is a good idea to have your rug cleaned every one to three years. Cleaning should be done only by a reputable and professional cleaning service that specializes in hand made rugs, not by carpet cleaners that are unfamiliar with hand woven rugs. Make sure to know the fiber content ( i.e. wool, silk, viscose, hemp etc.) and tell the cleaning company exactly what your rug is made from. Whenever possible, clean a spill immediately before it has a chance to set in. Use a spoon to scoop up as much of the spill as possible, then blot excess liquid with a paper towel as not to spread the spill to a larger area.
