Barefoot Is Best!

By far the best way to keep your new Tibetan rug clean is to keep it from getting dirty by removing your outdoor shoes before walking on it.

Maintaining Your Tibetan Carpet

Follow these steps to maintain the beauty of your carpet:

1) Vacuum regularly.
2) Remove spills immediately. When a spill happens, first dilute the stain with water. Then blot up what you can, starting from the edge and working your way to the center. DO NO RUB. If the spill is solid, use a spoon to scoop up as much as possible first before blotting.
3) Have the rug cleaned professionally one every year or two, depending on how much traffic the rug receives. Be careful to find a dealer who specializes in washing hand-knotted carpets.
4) Rotate your rug every years to ensure that it wears evenly.

How to Find a Qualified Cleaner

Find a dealer in your area who sells fine oriental carpets and inquire as to whom they would recommend for cleaning. Or, if you can't find a qualified dealer, trying asking at your local museum or art gallery. Above all, don't just trust anyone!
