Dear Rug Owner,
Chances are, at some
time you have had a rug ruined (or a friend
has) by someone who claimed to know how
to clean oriental rugs.
Many people own rugs that they “love”
either because the rug has been in their
family for generations and has great sentimental
value…...or because they spent a great
deal of time finding the perfect piece to
compliment their home.
A handmade rug is a
piece that a weaver spent months, or even
years, to weave. Crafting their design one
hand tied knot at a time. And now that piece
of art is in your home, and you want to
take care of it. The problem is….you
aren’t sure exactly how to take care
of it so that it stays clean, looks great,
and lasts for many years to come.
Many companies, including
rug galleries, dry cleaners and on-site
carpet cleaners claim to be Oriental rug
cleaning “Experts.” The fact
is that there are only a handful of companies
in the country who specialise exclusively
in the safe and proper care of rugs. This
guide has been written to help you identify
those true “rug specialists”
and to take the fear out of having your
rugs cleaned.
In this fact-filled
Rug Care Guide, you’ll discover how
to avoid five common rug cleaning rip-offs.
Seven mistakes to avoid when choosing a
rug specialist and four steps to fresh,
clean, healthy rugs. You’ll also learn
rug care tips for you to use safely on your
rugs.

rugs being ruined by ill-equipped, uninsured,

by all rug owners. We’ve written this
Guide to give you a better understanding
of rug cleaning and how to properly care
for your rugs. In addition, it should help
