Vacuum your area rugs regularly,
Radii Straight Shoes, make sure to go back and forth in the same direction over the entire rug (avoiding the fringes). If you are vacuuming with a beater brush, we suggest you set the brush so it just touches the top of the pile and moves easily across the rug. When vacuuming with a carpet tool, ease the suction of the vacuum by adjusting it accordingly. Be sure to periodically vacuum the back of the rug.
Rotate your area rugs as often as possible,

Restoration & Repair
When considering having a rug repaired,
Griffey Shoes, evaluate the cost of the repair to the value and your personal attachment to the rug. Only allow a reputable and knowledgeable craftsman/weaver to restore or repair your area rugs. The most common repairs are re-fringing and over-rounding the sides.
Re-fringing
We suggest re-fringing,
Air Max 24 7 Shoes, where the weaver will use the selvage or a minimal part of the rug, rather than adding a fringe to the rug. [A stitch or blind-stitch should be used to hold the rug in place. If several lines of the rug are removed to make the fringe, the weaver should consider using a cashmere stitch (a line or two of wool to match the design around the rug) to enhance the look of the repair.] If the corners of the rug are damaged due to wear,
Air Max 24-7 Shoes, we suggest having the weaver secure them or re-weave them.
Over-rounding
When the entire siding of the rug needs to be repaired, the weaver either over-rounds by hand or by sewing a cord with a matching color to the sides. We would suggest repairing the rug the original way it was made. Make sure that the weaver is able to match the wool color. The colors used in Persian rugs should be easily matched but matching the colors in an old Chinese carpet may prove to be more difficult.href="">Rug Repair/Washington DC About the Author
