How to Keep Your Oriental Rug Clean During the Winter
December 13, 2019
Fine, hand-woven and expensive oriental rugs provide your home with
elements of décor and serve as a pleasing aesthetic focal point for
any room. Sometimes they even carry cultural or family significance
and add a sense of belonging to your home. These oriental rugs can be
tough to maintain, especially during the winter months. The
cleanliness and crispness are often tainted by footprints from
children and pets running around your home. Your oriental rug is the
perfect place for snow, dirt, and mud to accumulate. Follow these
simple tips to keep your oriental rug clean during the cold winter
months!
Place Welcome Mats in Front of Your Doors
Oriental rugs can be tough to maintain, especially during the winter
months.
This is an effortless, affordable, and quick way to decrease the amount of
dirt that enters your home. Walk-off Mats are not just for decoration.
They’re the first line of defense for maintaining your
carpets, floors, and oriental rugs from tracked-in messes. Many particles,
including tar, pesticides, bacteria, and snowmelt can make their way into
your home on the bottom of your shoes, but a good quality mat can soak up
most of the waste before someone steps through the door.
Place a Boot Tray by the Entryways
A more effective way to keep your oriental rug clean is to remove any
shoes before entering the house. In many places across the globe, this is
a common practice. Place a boot tray outside or right inside the door to
encourage your guests to remove their shoes. This tray will keep footwear
in a specific spot, rather than spread throughout your home. It can also
catch any dirt or snow in one area, making it easier to clean.
Vacuum Consistently
The simplest way to eliminate all particles from your floors and oriental
rugs is by vacuuming. It’s almost impossible to keep out all particles
from entering your home – especially if you have children and
pets. And carpets are excellent at capturing dirt from your feet. To prevent
further damage to your oriental rugs, vacuum the house regularly. If you
can’t find the time to do it yourself, call the
experts
