CLEANING HACKS FOR PERSIAN RUGS

We love our Persian rugs, don’t we? They’re unique, beautiful and a great conversation starter when people visit. They can also be pretty expensive too so we take as much care of them as possible. That said, we also have families, parties, gatherings, pets and sometimes accidents. That’s life, right? And sometimes, our beloved Persian Rug takes the brunt of life’s interventions and we are left with a problem: a stain, a blemish, a mark…

One thing should be clear form the outset: we never recommend tackling a cleaning project on your Persian rug if you are not confident or are in any way unsure if you should try to do it. In this instance, get in touch with us and let us take care of it for you. Self help is great but not at the expense of a unique Persian rug.

That said, let’s now have a deep dive into some eco friendly methods of cleaning your Persian rug that uses natural products.

CLEANING HACKS – REMOVING PET HAIR FROM A PERSIAN RUG

If you have a Persian rug, you know that they are beautiful works of art. But if you also have pets, you know that keeping your rug free of pet hair can be a challenge. Luckily, there are some things you can do to remove pet hair from your Persian rug and keep it looking its best.

One of the best ways to remove pet hair from a Persian rug is to use a lint roller. Lint rollers are specifically designed to pick up pet hair, and they work great on Persian rugs. Just roll the lint roller over the surface of the rug and it will pick up all the pet hair.

Another option for removing pet hair from a Persian rug is to vacuum it. If you have a powerful vacuum, this can be a great way to remove all the pet hair from your rug. Just make sure you use the vacuum on the lowest setting so you don’t damage the delicate fibres of the rug.

If you want to prevent pet hair from getting on your Persian rug in the first place, there are a few things you can do. First, keep your pets well-groomed. Regular brushing and bathing will help to reduce the amount of hair that your pet sheds. You can also try using a pet hair remover spray on your Persian rug before you vacuum it. This will help to loosen any pet hair that is already on the rug so it can be easily removed.

With a little effort, you can keep your Persian rug looking its best despite the presence of pet hair. By using a lint roller or vacuum regularly and keeping your pets well-groomed, you can enjoy your rug for many years to come.

CLEANING HACKS – REMOVING STAINS FROM PERSIAN RUGS

There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to stain removal from Persian rugs. First, it is important to act quickly. The longer a stain sits, the harder it will be to remove. Second, be careful not to damage the rug while trying to remove the stain. Third, always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the rug before applying it to the stained area.

With these things in mind, here are a few tips for removing common types of stains from Persian rugs:

• For food and drink stains, blot up as much of the spill as possible with a clean, dry cloth. Then, mix together one part white vinegar and one part water. Using a clean cloth, sponge the stain with the vinegar solution. Be sure to blot rather than rub, as rubbing can damage the fibres of the rug. Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry.
• For pet stains, it is important to act quickly. Blot up as much of the urine as possible with a clean, dry cloth. Then, mix together one part white vinegar and one part water. Using a clean cloth, sponge the stain with the vinegar solution. Once again, be sure to blot rather than rub. Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry. You may need to repeat this process several times to completely remove the stain.
• For grease or oil stains, sprinkle cornstarch on the stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. This will absorb some of the grease or oil. Then, using a clean cloth, sponge the area with a solution of one part dish soap and one part water. Rinse the area with clean water and blot dry.

Hopefully these tips will help you remove stains from your Persian rug and keep it looking beautiful for years to come.

If you have a Persian rug that has become mouldy, don’t despair! With a little care and attention, you can remove the mould and restore your rug to its former glory.

Here are some tips on how to remove mould from Persian rugs:

1. First, identify the source of the mould. If the rug is stored in an area with high humidity, such as a basement or attic, it’s important to address this problem first. Otherwise, the mould will just keep coming back. Take measures to reduce the humidity in the storage area, such as using a dehumidifier or opening windows to let in fresh air.
2. Once you’ve addressed the source of the problem, it’s time to start cleaning the rug. Vacuum it thoroughly to remove any loose mould spores.
3. Next, mix a solution of 1 part white vinegar, 1 part (natural, eco-friendly) washing up liquid and 10 parts water. Put this mixture into a spray bottle or mister to ensure light covering. Use this mixture to scrub the mouldy areas of the rug with a brush. Be sure to wear gloves and protective clothing while doing this.
4. Rinse the rug well with clean water, and then dry it completely in a sunny spot.

With these simple tips, you can remove mould from your Persian rug and enjoy its beauty for years to come.

• White vinegar
• A clean, white cloth
• A soft-bristled brush
