Generalcleaningandmaintenance
OrientalWeaversrugsaremanufacturedwithcolor,designandvalueinmind.Theyarealso
manufacturedtolastforyearstocome.Butaswithallthings,careandcleaningwillprolong thelifeof
therug.Forgeneralcleaningandmaintenance,the
followingisrecommended:
 Vacuumregularlytoremovesurfacesoil.Whenvacuumingcertainfibers,suchaswool,setthe
beaterbarsettingtothehighestsettingtopreventdamagingtherug’ssurface.
 Longendsmayworktothesurfaceafteruseorvacuuming.Neverpulltheseendsoutofthe
rug
butrathertrimthemevenwiththerug’ssurface.
 Cleanspillsandspotsimmediately.Neverrubaspill,alwaysblottopreventfrayingoftheyarns.
 Periodicprofessionalcleaningisrecommended.
 UseanOrientalWeaversrugpadunderallrugs,evenindoor/outdoorrugs.Refertothe

representativeforarecommendation.Usingarugpadwillextendthelifeoftherug.
 Rotatetherugatleastonceayear,twiceifinhightrafficareas.Nomatterhowdensethe
