"Persian or oriental rugs and carpets are beautiful and comfortable accents for any home. Good Persian carpets can last for many years without losing their attractiveness and functionality. Here are a few tips to keep your Persian or oriental carpets looking their very best while extending their life span. Vacuum your carpets and rugs on a regular basis. Dirt and grime are damaging to fibers and will wear out the wool over time. Never use a vacuum cleaner with a beater brush - use suction attachments only and be extra careful with the fringe. In fact, it is better to clean the fringe with a soft brush or broom to avoid excess wear and tear. Vacuum the bottom side of the rug periodically. Rotate your carpets or rugs periodically to minimize wear in the same areas and to keep any direct sunlight from fading a single area of the carpet. Change furniture placement to avoid undue wear in frequently traveled areas of the carpet. Treat any pet urine spills thoroughly and immediately. Cleaning with club soda and clean water is an inexpensive and effective method for dealing with pet urine stains. Urine can severely damage fibers if left untreated and if the pet continues to use the same area it may be necessary to have the carpet or rug professionally cleaned to remove the scent that keeps the pet coming back to the same spot. Do not rub or scrub - just blot with clean towels. Club soda and water can be used to treat most spills in general. Buy carpet pads that are designed for the purpose. They can help keep the carpet from skidding and they will keep the underside of the carpet ventilated and will help trap dirt. A pad will also help prevent moisture from being trapped underneath the rug. Inspect your carpets or rugs regularly to spot any signs of damage from moths, carpet beetles or other insects. There are products that can help control moths and a professional deep-cleaning may be necessary to remove all the insects and their eggs if they are detected. Hire a professional carpet cleaning service to periodically clean your carpets and rugs. For carpet cleaning London offers dozens of choices in every neighbourhood. Find one that specializes in Persian and oriental carpets and rugs. Take good care of your Persian and oriental carpets and they will keep their beauty for decades to come."
