Many people don't think about what happens to their rug after they buy it; however, like any other household piece, Oriental rugs need attention too. In order to extend the life of a high quality rug and to preserve its color, it is recommended that a professional (such as us) clean your Oriental rug once every 3-5 years, or more often if it is in a high traffic area. Cleaning an Oriental rug doesn't take very long, yet the benefits of the wash help prevent premature wear and even prevent allergens such as pollen and dust mites from invading your home. It is easy to forget about maintaining your fine rug, especially since Oriental rugs vacuum easily and don't pill, yet only a professional wash can give it a truly thorough cleansing. If you have a fine Oriental rug that needs some attention, including pet stains and repairs, don't hesitate to call us at 410-313-9090 or visit us in store at 8290 Main Street, Ellicott City, MD, 21043.
