If you have a Persian rug at home and it is considerably old, you may notice wear patterns, dirt, threading coming apart, the fringe growing old, and a number of other problems. If so, you may have the desire to simply get rid of this rug and purchase a replacement one.
True, genuine Persian rugs are incredibly valuable.
They are handcrafted and can take many, many months to produce a single Persian rug. Whether it’s 10, 20, 30, 50, hundred years old, or older, these rugs hold their value and if you have any opportunity to restore them or help them look much better than they do right now, you should take that opportunity instead of simply assuming they are like other mass manufactured items that are easy to discard.
In our Western society, we have grown accustomed to throwing things away.
More and more items are cheaper today than they are to repair. As a result we have a tendency to simply get rid of things. That $100 vacuum cleaner that you purchased six years ago, that’s now making noise and not really picking up dirt as well as it used to, is easier to simply throw out and purchase a new one. However, just a few decades ago people had a tendency to fix these machines and keep them running as well as possible.
For that Persian rug, it deserves some attention.
If you choose a quality carpet cleaning service, you may find that they also provide restoration services for some rugs. If they specialize in restoring Persian rugs, they may be able to work wonders at not just improving the appearance, but repairing some damage, stemming the flow of more damage, improving the fringe, and getting them cleaner and looking as best as they can.
In the meantime, make sure you rotate that Persian rug, try to keep it out of common walking areas, and have it professionally cleaned on a regular basis to have it looking it’s best for as long as possible.
