Hand braided rugs are relatively easy to care for and will last for years when properly maintained. These helpful tips will assist you in the proper care of your rugs.
Cleaning
Hand braided rugs require good care to help maintain longevity. Use the following as a guideline to help you keep your rugs in great shape:
- vacuum – Regularly vacuum both sides of the rug gently. You want to take care not to break the threads that hold the rug together.
- use dry cleaning solvent – clean one section at a time. This will keep the colors from bleeding and fading. Avoid using water because it will make them bleed and fade. Always dry the rugs on a flat surface otherwise they will begin to pucker.
Professional Cleaning
You should take the hand braided rugs for a thorough professional cleaning periodically. This will help to ensure that the rug is thoroughly cleaned and in the end helps to ensure that it stays in good shape. If you are maintaining the rug at home on a regular basis, then a once a year professional cleaning should be fine.
With proper care and attention, these rugs can last for years and still look great.
