Tips for Preserving the Beauty and Longevity of Silk Rugs

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your silk rugs in your home for years to, here are some tips that will help you maintain the pristine condition of your rug:

Regular Maintenance

Regular vacuuming is crucial to remove surface dirt and debris from your silk rugs. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brushless suction head to gently clean the rug without causing damage to the delicate silk fibres. Aim to vacuum your silk rug at least once a week, paying extra attention to high-traffic areas.

Treating Stains with Care

 It's essential to treat stains with care to avoid causing further damage. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, white cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the stain, as this can spread it further into the fibres. For stubborn stains, dilute a mild detergent in water and gently dab the affected area, then rinse with clean water and blot dry.

Protecting Silk Rugs from Fading

To protect your silk carpets from fading, place them in areas of your home that receive minimal sunlight as direct sunlight can cause them to fade over time, diminishing their vibrant colours and beauty. Additionally, consider rotating your silk rugs regularly to ensure even exposure to light and prevent fading in specific areas.
