Regular cleaning is the first step in maintaining your carpet. Vacuum your carpet at least two to three times a week, especially in high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. This helps remove dust particles, dirt, and allergens that can get deep into the fibers and cause long-term damage. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile for better results and avoid using harsh rotating brushes on delicate handmade rugs.

Spills should be cleaned immediately. If you spill tea, coffee, juice, or any other liquid on the carpet, do not rub it as it can spread the stain and damage the fibers. Instead, gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. After that, use a mild carpet cleaner or a mixture of water and a small amount of vinegar to gently clean the spot.

Another important step is rotating your carpet every 6 to 12 months. This ensures even wear and prevents certain areas from fading or flattening faster due to constant foot traffic and sunlight exposure. Sunlight can also fade natural dyes over time, so avoid placing your carpet in direct sunlight for long hours. Use curtains or blinds if needed.

Deep cleaning should be done professionally once a year, especially for handmade or premium carpets. Professional carpet cleaning helps remove deeply embedded dirt, bacteria, and allergens without damaging the fibers. Avoid washing handmade carpets with strong detergents or in washing machines, as this can ruin their structure.
