REPAIRS
The earlier that wear or damage is detected, the easier and less costly it
is to repair the rug. Once damaged, the rug may disintegrate with surprising speed. If edges in particular become worn, the pile itself will start to come away. A small repair which shows only on the back will not detract from the beauty or the value of a carpet. Properly looked after, your carpet should never require more attention than that, and should give a lifetime's service.
Antique rugs are another matter, since it is very difficult indeed to match the wool. Yet we are experts at this challenging sort of repair. It must be done with wool of the same quality, which we have in abundance from our suppliers, and dyed the same shade as the original.

CLEANING
With proper care, an Oriental rug should last generations. Oriental rugs are extremely durable, but need regular care to ensure that they remain in top condition. In general, rugs should be cleaned professionally every three years. Depending on the age of the rug, appropriate method of cleaning should be used. Vacuuming your rug regularly will remove harmful grit and help it last longer; be sure, however, not to ever run your vacuum cleaner over the fringe of the rug. Oriental rugs should be cleaned differently from wall-to-wall carpeting and should be handled by a specialist.
MOTH-PROOFING
To keep moths away and to protect the pile, it is best not to have any furniture on the rugs. Moths tend to be attracted to the areas of the rug that are hidden and not disturbed by foot traffic and vacuuming. It's also important to have your rug moth-proofed every time that it is professionally cleaned.
