WHERE SHOULD I PURCHASE MY ORIENTAL RUGS?

We recommend you purchase your rugs from a reputable company that has been in business for many years. Ask friends and family members whom they would recommend.

Don't ever buy your rugs from "fly by night", or from rug salesmen during a hotel sale or weekend sale at a temporary location. Don't ever believe those "going out of business" sale ads that promise up to 90% off. This is simply a racket and untrue. If you do not like your rug, or decide to return it, you will have no recourse. Often you may actually pay a lot more then at a reputable store.

Shop around and compare prices, services, and quality. Take time to learn and read about the kind of rug you are interested in. Get help from a knowledgeable and helpful rug retailer such as Essgo Home, the winner of numerous awards.

 

CARPET CARE

Proper maintenance and care of your oriental rugs is essential so you can enjoy your rug for many years to come.

1- Frequent washing and cleaning of your rug in not necessary, nor is it recommended. This will only destroy the natural oils in the wool that provide rugs with their natural sheen and lustre.

2- We recommend the use of a good quality underpad for your rug. This pad will protect and prolong the life of your rug and also prevent it from slipping and sliding. As well a good pad provides extra cushion to walk on, absorbs sounds and protects your floors.

3- Sometimes it's a good idea to take your rug out and beet it. Never beat your rug on the topside. A rug should be beet on the bottom side.

4- Vacuum your rug once a week, always vacuum in the direction of the pile not against the pile.  Avoid using the power roller on all rugs, only use a vacuum rug attachment. Set your vacuum to low power when vacuuming your rugs.

5- Periodically turn your rug around to avoid the rug getting unevenly used and to protect from solar ray damage. Try and avoid getting long term direct sunlight on your rug.

6- To protect your fringes from getting messy and vacuum damage use Fringe Hold to protect your fringes. You may find Fringe Hold at our store or purchase it on the web www.rug-secret.com

7- For small stains you may purchase a good rug stain remover found at ESSGO HOME. Or you may follow the cleaning codes provided in this page. For comlete cleaning, repair, or evaluation of your rugs visit our store, ESSGO HOME.
