Carpet Maintenance

Fine handcrafted carpets and rugs are made from natural fibers and dyes which produce individual variations that add to the beauty of each piece. Some shedding is expected & it is not a defect in the carpet/rug.

Purchasing a carpet can represent a significant investment and like all quality home furnishings, proper care is required to maintain its beauty. With the correct care and maintenance, you will extend the useful life of your carpet and assure many years of comfort and satisfaction. We recommend that you follow these care and maintenance guidelines in order to protect your investment.

Carpet fibers are designed to hide soil and reflect light. Consequently, soil in carpet is not as visible as it is on smooth flooring where soil remains on the surface and is easily seen. The ability of today’s carpet fibers to hide soiling is a positive feature. However, the lack of apparent soiling does not eliminate the need for regular cleaning. Soil can damage the fibers permanently if allowed to remain in the pile. Even with carpet’s ability to resist soiling and stains, a regular maintenance program extends the life and appearance of your carpet.
