We will only explain the important points to keep your carpet beautiful, such as the material, how to choose it, how to store it, how often to clean it, how to protect it from direct sunlight, etc. For more information, please see the article on Getting to Know Persian Carpets.
A: The main materials used in Persian carpets are silk, wool and cotton. Silk is luxurious and suitable for intricate designs, wool is durable and great for everyday use, and cotton is used for the warp and weft threads, providing structure.
A: Check your design and color preferences, material, size, and weaving density (number of knots). It is also important to buy from a trusted dealer.
A: Remove dust from the surface with a vacuum cleaner and air it out in a well-ventilated place once a year. If liquid is spilled on it, immediately absorb it with a dry cloth and dry it in the shade.
A: If you do not wear shoes, we recommend that you have it professionally cleaned once every 5 to 8 years. If it is very dirty or you are concerned about fading, please have it professionally cleaned as soon as possible.
A: Prices vary depending on the material, size, number of knots, and complexity of the design. Silk products can cost anywhere from several hundred thousand yen to several million yen, while wool products can be purchased from around 100,000 yen.
A: Yes, direct sunlight can cause fading and fiber deterioration. If you place it near a window, we recommend using UV-blocking curtains and turning the carpet once a year.
A: With proper storage and maintenance, some items can last for over 100 years, especially silk and dense wool products.
A: Yes, you can check the density of the weave and the evenness of the knots by looking at the back of the carpet. A carpet with even knots and a high density is a sign of high quality.
A: Roll up the carpet, put in an insect repellent such as naphthalene, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid folding the carpet as this will damage the fibers.
A: If you place heavy furniture on the floor for a long period of time, the fibers may be crushed. Place felt under the legs of the furniture or move it regularly to distribute the load.
I hope these answers will help you better understand Persian carpets and use them properly.
