Also, youmust take into consideration that very often a rug is not only an interiordesign item, it is also a precious object, and all the more so it should beprotected and handled with care. It is not easy to generalize when we speakabout rugs, considering the many types of carpets that you can find on themarket, and the best way to clean and take care of them can vary upon the typeof rugs, the room where they have been put, the material they are made of andtheir preciousness (it is self-evident that you wont take care of a simplebedside rug as you do with your Persian carpet ), but there are some hints thatare useful for almost all kinds of carpets.To prevent your rug from ruining, you have toconsider, first of all, where to put it: it would be better to avoid too humid,small and dark rooms, as rugs are made of organic substances that need air.Also, if you put it at the entrance or in other rooms where many people pass,the rug will be more subjected to wear: this is something you need to take intoconsideration especially in case of precious, ancient or fragile rugs. Once you have chosen the room where to put it,you must pay attention to dust, spots, rips and tears. As far as dust isconcerned, it would be good to remove it at least once a week. To do that inthe best way, forget the carpet beater, which besides being tiring can alsoruin rugs, and use a sorghum or an electric broom, minding not to damage thefringes, which are notably delicate. However, removing dust once a week is notenough to keep rugs clean: at least twice a year clean the rug with a damp rag wet with warm water andvinegar, or a little neutral shampoo or ammonia, following the direction of thewool and being careful not to wet the rug too much. In order to clean the rugmore thoroughly,it is advisable to refer to professionals, and have it cleaned at least every3-4 years. If there are spots, it is better to remove them immediately. Theprocedure varies upon the type of spot: if there is a grease stain, forexample, you can use some talcum powder, while if there are sweetened beveragesand substances stains you only need to use water.Also as far as rugs repair is concerned thewatchword is acting immediately. Of course it is always better to refer toexperts (small repairs usually are not too expensive), to avoid making itworse. The more the rug is precious, the better you should consult experts: rugrestorers can bring back to life a rug even when its texture is unravelling orif there are holes and tears.
