6 Simple Care Ways to Maintain Your Hand Knotted Silk Rug
As an investment, a hand knotted silk rug can hold the value very well which you do not need to do anything, however, as a daily used carpet, it needs special care and maintain. The following are 6 care ways for your reference:
Firstly, put the silk rug in an appropriate place: far away from door, walkway, and put it in the central of the living room or bedroom, for example, under the sofa or bed. And remember that, do not use the hand knotted silk rug like a machine made one which put all over the floor.
Secondly, change the direction of the rug once a year, which can protect the color of the silk from the sunlight.
Thirdly, vacuum the silk rug every week. If the silk rug is wet by water, keep it to the dry cool place and avoid the direct sunlight.
Fourthly, if you do not use the silk rug for a while, roll it and pack it with kraft paper. Do not use plastic paper, which will affect the ventilation performance and life time of silk.
Fifthly, the air in the silk rug room should be fresh and cool, do not put the silk rug in the damp place for a long time.
Lastly, clean the silk rug every two years. Please go to the professional silk hand knotted rug cleaning store to clean the rug, do not go to the average rug cleaning store, and do not clean yourself! If you buy from Camel Carpet, you can send the silk rug to us for cleaning. Do not clean it yourself!! Periodic Cleaning will keep your rug color well.
