Persian Rug Cleaners in Brooklyn, NY

A Persian rug is a type of oriental rug that is made in Iran. Rug making is an integral part of Iranian art and Persian culture. These wool rugs are characterized for having elaborate and beautiful designs.

Tips on how to care for and clean a Persian rug

A quality Persian rug can last for many decades. However, some basic care and cleaning is needed to help it stay looking its very best. The following are a few tips to help you properly care for your rug.

Rotate the rug. This will help to avoid any one area getting excessive wear. Rotate the rug every 2-6 months.

Avoid direct sunlight. This will cause the dyes in the rug to fade.

Vacuum on a regular basis. This will help to prevent the rug fibers from becoming matted and remove debris and dirt.

Spot clean. In case of a stain or spill, blot any excess liquid using a paper towel or cloth. If necessary loosen the stain using a small amount of club soda. Do not use cleaners such as detergents or soap since that can damage the rug’s fibers. I highly recommend you contact local Brooklyn Persian rug cleaner to get expert guidance.

Cleaning your Persian rug.

It is generally recommended to hire a professional to clean your Persian rug since they will have the experience and access to superior cleaning products and techniques to clean your rug properly. At Oriental Rug Care NY we take pride in our work and have been servicing Brooklyn, New York for many years.

To clean your own rug, do the following:

– Vacuum both sides of the rug well.

– Shampoo the rug using a rug shampoo or mild liquid soap and cool water (do not use a strong detergent). First, test for any color run on a small area. Use a non-shedding, firm sponge, or long haired, soft brush. Firmly brush the pile in the same direction as nap, but do not scrub too vigorously. Also wash the fringes.

– Thoroughly rinse the rug with water.

– Squeeze any excess water out. You can use a rubber window squeegee. Continue to squeegee the pile in the same direction as the rug’s nap until all of the water is forced out.

– Lay the rug flat to dry. Turn over and dry the other side.

– Lightly vacuum or brush gently if the rug’s pile is stiff.
