Cleaning of Carpets
When a rug begins to look dirty, it should be sent to be washed. Washing is beneficial to kilims and carpets, as dirt and grit will, with time, become ground into the weave and slowly destroy it. Hand-woven rugs should be washed regularly in any case, as this polishes the wool, gives life to the colors and helps with general wear and tear. New rugs can be dry-cleaned, but such treatment is not recommended for anything that is at all old. It is not advisable to wash rugs or kilims at home, as problems such as color run or uneven shrinkage can arise. When a weave is wet, it is stiff and hard like cardboard, and color seepage can occur if the rug is not dried in the correct manner.

Spills should be attended to immediately. Use absorbent paper, such as kitchen towel, to soak up the moisture, then sponge the weave with clean water, and re-absorb. Do not use salt for red wine, nor other corrosive substances on rugs. If any marks remain and the cause of the stain is known, it is easy for professionals to remove them with certain chemicals. Chemical treatments -'Scotchguarding', for example- to prevent dirt or staining are not recommended for hand-woven rugs. Here are some special tips for cleaning.
