Carpets and rugs are excellent additions to a house’s home décor, and these have been in high demand for the past few years. Maintaining the rugs is extremely important to ensure they look brand-new all year round. Here are a few simple ways in which you can care for your rugs and carpets without damaging them –

Get a Professional Carpet Cleaning Company
The professional carpet cleaning companies have not only the best chemicals and machines, but they also have the best skills and trained personnel to help you with your carpet cleaning and rug repair too. The professional companies also have guaranteed services which will protect your carpet from any damages and even help you maintain the quality of the carpet in the long run.

Don’t Use Harsh Detergents
Harsh detergents and stain removing chemicals can damage the delicate fibers and fabric of the carpets especially if these are handmade serapi rugs. The stain removing chemicals can also cause fading away of the fabric from that particular area which is why you must invest in a high-quality carpet cleaning liquid instead of stain removers and regular harsh detergents.

If you can’t find the right cleaning materials and chemicals, try getting your carpet professional cleaned at least once a month or once in two months. This will prevent the carpet from fading, getting too rough and will also help to maintain the shine and luster.

Vacuum Regularly
Ideally, you should vacuum over your vintage rugs at least 2-3 times a week if not more. This is because dust, food particles, insects, dust mites and a lot more things get trapped in the fibers of your rugs. These can cause allergic reactions of the lungs and skin and a lot of people can also develop rashes, bumps on the skin as well as allergic bronchitis.

Be sure to vacuum your sari silk rugs regularly and dust them regularly. This will prevent a lot of allergies especially in toddlers, kids and pets who spend a lot of time on the ground instead of on the couches and chairs. There are a lot of vacuum cleaners that are specially designed for vacuuming over carpets and rugs so try to get those vacuum cleaners instead.

Professional Repair Work
Don’t take matters in your own hands when getting the carpets and rugs repaired. Always get a professional carpet repair company to help you out with any repair work. The carpets need to be maintained regularly with the best techniques as well as repaired with the right skills and tools.

With all of these tips, you can not only maintain the quality of your rugs and carpets, you can also improve the fiber quality and prevent any damages to your carpet. Carpet repair work can be extremely expensive so prevent all of that by taking good care of your carpets and rugs starting today!
