Care and cleaning of your carpet

The cleaning and care of a handmade Persian carpet is a very important procedure, so that you as well as your children will be able to enjoy it for many years. Mr Taba Tabaee, carpet expert of the Museum of History and Art of Tehran, gives you the following simple advice:

Cleaning of your carpet by using a vacuum cleaner

First turn the carpet on its back and tread on it so that the dust does not settle deep within the pile. A handmade carpet should not be beaten with a rod, because otherwise there is a risk of breaking the knots and the weft or even the warp where the knots are tied. Then turn it again on its front side and use the vacuum cleaner. Do not apply pressure or rub forcefully against the pile. Always wipe in the direction of the pile and not against it.

Cleaning of your carpet by using water

Move the handmade carpet to your balcony or the roof of your house and leave it there for about an hour so that sun shines on its back side. In this way moisture and dust that has been collected through time in the pile’s roots is removed. Clean your carpet with a vacuum cleaner as described previously. Use a solution of wool clothing detergent or even better hair shampoo and lukewarm water. Mix the solution well in a basin until it foams. Using a well-wrung sponge dipped in this solution wipe the carpet little by little always in the direction of the pile. After this process the colours regain their natural shine.

How to store your carpet

Quality handmade carpets consist of natural fibers, so they should be able to breathe. Carpets are rolled in the direction of the pile in a cotton or linen cloth (e.g. a bed sheet) and stored in a dry place. Place the naphthalene in the storage space and not in the carpet itself.

We buy Old Carpets

Our company is in constant search of old handmade carpets that come from Oriental countries or other art objects related to the eastern culture. Our aim is not only to enrich our collection but also to take care of these pieces of art, to preserve them and to study their history.

If you possess old oriental carpets – regardless of their condition – that you do not want to use or keep anymore, just get an advisory opinion, let us inspect them thoroughly and estimate their value and potentially buy them to a fair rate.
