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.

Nightmare stories about rugs being ruined by ill-equipped, uninsured, and untrained cleaners are a fear shared 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 you to find the right professional when you need one.
