4 Common Types of Damage Persian Rugs Sustain Over Time

Persian rugs are highly functional, aesthetically pleasing, and authentic in a way that is distinct from most other types of furniture and decor. If you use the Oriental rug as a floor covering in a room where it will actually see traffic, you should be on the lookout for damage, and contact an Oriental rug cleaner or repair service as soon as it is detected. If contacted quickly enough, an  Oriental-rug-cleaning professional can restore a rug that has sustained the following types of damage to its former glory:

1. Sun Bleaching- Believe it or not, antique rugs that are displayed indoors are still susceptible to damage from the sun. If sunlight streams through a window and onto a rug in your home, the area that absorbs the sunlight can become washed out over time. An Oriental rug repair professional can help brighten the colors that the sun dulls over time.
2. Traffic Damage- The most common type of damage that Persian rugs sustain is due to heavy traffic. If a few people in your house walk over your antique rug every day for several years, there really is no avoiding some subtle damage. With a little bit of time and energy, an experienced Oriental rug cleaner can have your rug looking new again.
3. Spills- To avoid having your antique Persian rug stained by juice, a soda, or an alcoholic beverage, the best course of action is to discourage your children and guests from taking drinks over the rug in the first place. If a beverage stain does occur, do not try to clean it yourself. Call an Oriental rug cleaning company immediately; there is a good chance that cleaner will be able to remove the stain.
4. Pet Urine Stains- Pet urine can bleach and discolor a rug, in addition to making it smell foul. As difficult as it may be to leave a pet urine stain alone, the advice given for beverage spills should be followed for pet urine stains as well.

How Persian Rugs Are Made

Hans Boujaran is a Persian rug expert. He was taught by his mother at an early age how to work on tapestries, and thus design and create beautiful Persian rugs. 

"My inspiration comes from life itself, I have learned how to interpret colors and patterns from nature, architecture, textiles and paintings, translating my vision into rug designs.... As an artist, my canvases are my treasured rugs, each design has its own story and soul."- Hans Boujaran
