Persian & Oriental rugs made from a high percentage of silk are intricate and are often the most valuable of all handmade carpets. The silk fibers in this piece create a beautiful sheen throughout the field and borders, providing an ultra luxurious feel. The use of silk ensures a precise rendering of the decorative design patterns, since strong silk fibers permit skilled weavers to weave more knots per square inch (KPSI) than those of wool carpets. A typical Persian or Oriental rug made from wool might have between 100 and 300 KPSI - a typical 80% silk rug contains between 200 to 500 KPSI. As a result, weaving the rug will require roughly three times the amount of work, and this is one of the main reasons that silk rugs cost two to three times more than wool rugs. The detailing of this particular piece also contains wool, which increases its durability. The use of eco-friendly vegetable dyes also enrich the yarn of this area rug with a natural and vibrant luster. Vegetable dyes are also referred to as natural dyes and are superior to "synthetic" dyes. In contrast to rugs woven with synthetic colors, this carpet will last for generations due to the high-quality materials and the skilled craftsmanship invested in it. Care & Maintenance: Silk Area RugsSince they are essentially a precious art form, silk carpets require care in order to maintain their longevity. Preventative maintenance is the best medicine for ensuring the long life of a silk rug. Silk loses up to 20% of its strength when it gets wet. Abrasive cleanings agents, hot water and steam cleaning can damage silk fibers, so professional cleaning is highly recommended for all silk rugs. On some occasions, professional cleaning may not be possible, as some rugs are more susceptible to having their colors run or bleed once washed. Below are general guidelines to follow for proper maintenance of a silk rug:Vacuum silk rugs regularly by using a brush-less suction head. Do not use beater or roller brushes.Gently sweep silk rugs with a broom to avoid damaging the fibers.Shake the rug outdoors to remove dust and debris.Cleans stains immediately before they set in and attach to the silk fibers. Removing Solid Spills: Gently scoop solid debris from the rug using a spoon, but be careful not to scrape the fibers of the rug. Any scraping motion may tear the silk fibers. Removing Liquid Spills: Absorb liquid spillage by pressing the affected areas gently with a clean white cloth.Pour club soda onto a clean cloth and blot the stain. Use a dry cloth to absorb excess club soda. Allow the area to air dry naturally. Do not use a heat source, as it may damage the silk.Apply a mixture solution of equal parts white vinegar and water to remove stains. Pour the solution on a clean cloth and blot the stain. Use a dry cloth to absorb the excess moisture and allow the area to air dry naturally. Do not use artificial heat to dry.Work from the outside inwards to limit the affected area.Use a cleaner designed for silk, working it in with a brush, sponge or cloth and then rinsing.When finished, blot thoroughly and brush the pile in the correct direction.
