Rug Care / Teppichpflege

Persian rugs are made from natural sheep’s wool. Therefore, a Persian rug is a sustainable and durable product by nature. However, regularly cleaning your rug will support its longevity. Here are a few tips and tricks:

• Vacuum the rug in the direction of the pile and rotate it frequently. This will help to keep dust and dirt away. Fun Fact: Did you know that 30 minutes of vacuuming burns around 110 calories? Now you know! You can even consider vacuuming your rug as a little workout.
• Dust off your rug! To remove dirt and particles, take your rug outside and "just beat it" in addition to vacuuming. This will keep your rug fresh and clean.
• Rugs are sensitive to daylight, which means that they might change their color over time if exposed to strong sunlight daily. Keep this in mind if you wish to preserve the vibrant colors of your rug. If you want to change the color, place the rug in a sunny spot.
• If something spills on your rug and dries, remove it promptly by scraping it carefully toward the center of the spot. In case of a wet stain caused by beverages, do not rub it with a towel. Carefully absorb the liquid with paper towels, or a damp cloth with mild detergent.
• If you are unable to remove spots or stains from your rug, please contact a professional rug cleaner – they will know what to do.
