How to care for a wool carpet at home
Key daily care rules for a wool carpet: what to do, what not to do, and when to seek professional cleaning.
Silk carpet: 5 rules for long life
Silk carpets are the pinnacle of weaving. They cost like a car, serve generations, and demand entirely special handling.
Rule 1: No water at home
Silk loses its sheen and elasticity from water. Any home washing attempt turns the carpet into an uneven rag with stains.
Rule 2: Only dry vacuuming
Use a smooth-surface attachment or a delicate cleaning brush.
Rule 3: Protect from sunlight
Direct sunlight bleaches the color in half a year. Rotate the carpet or close the curtains.
Rule 4: No heavy furniture on top
Silk fibers are very thin — they deform under point pressure. Use furniture coasters.
Rule 5: Professional cleaning once a year
Silk needs humidity and temperature control. Only achievable at the factory.
