Care Instructions for Your Vintage Turkish Rug

Your authentic vintage Turkish rug is a treasured piece of craftsmanship that, with proper care, will maintain its beauty for generations. Follow these expert-recommended care instructions to preserve your investment.

Regular Maintenance

Vacuuming

Vacuum your rug once or twice monthly depending on foot traffic

Use a suction attachment instead of a rotary brush to protect the delicate wool fibers

Avoid over-vacuuming, as excessive suction can wear down the hand-knotted fibers prematurely

Every few months, flip your rug over and vacuum the back to remove accumulated grit from the cotton foundation

Rotation and Positioning

Rotate your rug once yearly to ensure even wear patterns

Avoid placing in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent color fading

Use rug pads to prevent slipping and provide additional cushioning

Professional Cleaning

Frequency

Have your vintage Turkish rug professionally hand-washed every 3-5 years

More frequent cleaning may be needed in high-traffic areas or homes with pets

Important Warning

Never steam clean or dry clean your vintage Turkish rug. These methods can severely damage the wool fibers and compromise the structural integrity of your antique piece.

Proper Professional Cleaning

Professional hand-washing should include:

pH-balanced wool-safe shampoo

Hand application with soft-bristled brushes

Multiple gentle rinse cycles

Proper drying techniques that preserve the rug's shape

Spill and Stain Management

Immediate Response

Act quickly - blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth

Never rub or scrub - this can push stains deeper and damage wool fibers

Blot from outside toward center to prevent spreading

Organic Spills (wine, juice, food)

Blot excess liquid with paper towels or clean cloth

Apply small amounts of clean water to dilute the stain

Continue blotting with a damp cloth

Repeat until stain is removed

For persistent stains, use very diluted dish soap following the same blot-and-rinse method

Oil-Based Spills

Carefully scoop away excess material with a spoon or heavy paper

Follow the blot-and-rinse procedure

For significant oil spills, seek professional cleaning immediately

Chemical or Unknown Substances

Contact a professional rug cleaner immediately for chemical spills or unknown substances.

Special Considerations for Vintage Rugs

Color Bleeding

Some vintage Turkish rugs may experience minor color bleeding during cleaning

Test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous area first

Clean in areas where immediate hosing is possible if needed

Age-Related Care

Handle with extra care due to the vintage nature of the fibers

Avoid placing heavy furniture directly on the rug

Consider professional assessment if you notice loose knots or significant wear

Storage (If Needed)

Short-term Storage

Clean thoroughly before storing

Roll (don't fold) with the pile facing inward

Wrap in breathable cotton sheeting

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture

Long-term Storage

Include cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths

Check periodically and re-roll in the opposite direction every 6 months
