Quliaty Oriental Rugs
            When someone decides to purchase an Oriental rug, they normally have many questions regarding the proper care of their new purchase.  The beauty and quality of your oriental rug can be maintained for decades to come with some general guidelines:

BASIC CARE

Rug wear is inevitable but preventative steps can be taken to greatly reduce the effects of wear.  Frequently rotating your rug 180 degrees will help equalize the effects of wear as well as occasionally rearranging the layout of the room to alter traffic patterns.  Avoid displaying or storing the rug anywhere that is not dry and well ventilated… moths and dampness are what really threaten the longevity of oriental rugs.  Exposure to sunlight and household fumes should also be considered when displaying the rug and a good quality pad under your rug is essential for rug preservation.  If you wish to hang your rug or Kilim, utilize a strong poster hanger.  Do not use nails or staples to hang the rug avoid hanging rugs from the warp threads.
