Chinese Rugs: Care and Maintenance
Preserving a treasured Chinese rug's timeless beauty and intricate craftsmanship requires refined care and maintenance. The most straightforward is using a vacuum cleaner with a soft-bristle brush attachment in a low-suction setting. This practice effectively removes surface dirt and dust without compromising its delicate fibers.
Another way to maintain your bespoke rug is with regular rotation. Preserve its colors and patterns by reducing the impact of foot traffic and exposure to light. However, you can use sheer curtains and other UV-protective window films if light is unavoidable in your living space.
Entrust your luxury rug to skilled professionals specializing in delicate textiles every few years. They have experience cleaning and restoring rugs to their original beauty without compromising their integrity.
If you need to store your Chinese area rug, we recommend gently rolling and wrapping it in breathable fabric. Afterward, store it in a cool and dry area away from damp or extreme temperatures.
