Care and Handling of your Fine Rug

We know and love rugs, so we recommend a simple process to keep your rugs healthy and beautiful! A professional cleaning for your rug revitalizes the look and feel to give it a longer and healthier life.

SOLOMON'S COLLECTION provides professional cleaning care for your rug. Just bring in or send your rug to our pick-up center on 809 Hancock Street (Rt. 3A) in Quincy, Massachusetts.

General Care

1. Vaccum your rug once a week. If your rug has fringes, be careful when vaccuming the fringes.

2. Remove spills quickly by blotting the affected area with a damp towel. Do not drag the towel along the affected area, but simply tap the area. Then tap the area with a dry towel. Do not leave the rug wet as it may mildew and cause the rug to rot.

3. Avoid exposing the rug to direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time. Excessive exposure to sunlight may cause the colors to fade and produce an unevenness in the colors of the rug. If the rug lies in the sun, rotate the rug every 4 months to enhance the life of the rug.

4. Any potential elements that may stain the rug, such as wine or pet urine, should be professionally cleaned out. Pet urine also requires a deorderization process to neutralize any odors.

5. Have your oriental rug professionally cleaned every 3 to 5 years. We recommend that you clean rugs in any high traffic area every 1 to 2 years.
