Oriental and Persian rugs are more than just floor coverings—they’re timeless pieces of art, rich in history, design, and craftsmanship. Whether handwoven in Iran, India, Turkey, or Central Asia, these rugs are cherished heirlooms that deserve proper care and attention. But without the right cleaning and maintenance, even the most beautiful rug can lose its vibrancy and longevity.

At Rugs Cleaning New Jersey, we specialize in cleaning, repairing, and restoring Oriental and Persian rugs with the utmost care. Here’s a guide to help you protect your investment.

1. Regular Vacuuming Is Essential

Dust and dirt particles settle deep into the fibers of Persian and Oriental rugs, slowly wearing them down. Gentle vacuuming once or twice a week prevents buildup. Always use suction-only (without a beater bar) to avoid damaging delicate fibers and fringes.

Pro Tip: Flip the rug occasionally and vacuum the back to loosen dust from the foundation.

2. Rotate Your Rug to Prevent Uneven Wear

Direct sunlight and heavy foot traffic can cause uneven fading and wear. Rotating your rug every 6–12 months ensures even exposure and extends its life.

3. Avoid DIY Chemical Cleaners

Harsh detergents and over-the-counter cleaners can strip natural dyes and damage wool or silk fibers. Instead, blot stains gently with a clean, damp cloth and leave the deep cleaning to professionals.

At Rugs Cleaning New Jersey, we use safe, eco-friendly methods specifically designed for delicate Oriental and Persian rugs.

4. Professional Cleaning Every 12–18 Months

Unlike regular rugs, Oriental and Persian rugs require specialized techniques like hand washing, dusting, and controlled drying. Our experts in New Jersey provide:

• Deep dust removal to protect fibers

• Color-safe cleaning methods to preserve vibrancy

• Pet odor and stain treatment

• Fringe and edge cleaning for a polished look

This not only restores beauty but also improves indoor air quality by removing allergens and bacteria trapped in fibers.

5. Protect Against Moths and Storage Damage

If you’re storing your rug, never fold it. Roll it with acid-free paper and keep it in a cool, dry space. To protect against moth damage, we offer rug moth repellent and storage services across New Jersey.

6. Repair & Restoration Keep Rugs Timeless

Fraying edges, unraveling fringes, or small holes can shorten a rug’s life. Our rug repair specialists handle:

• Fringe repair and replacement

• Hole and tear repairs

• Re-dyeing and color restoration

These services help preserve the authenticity and beauty of your treasured rug.
