Oriental rugs

Oriental rugs are hand-woven and so each one is unique. Some manufactured rugs are designed to have the appearance of an Oriental rug. However, a consumer can tell if it is the genuine article by looking underneath the rug and seeing if the pattern on top matches the pattern below.

Oriental rugs can come from all over the world. 20 years ago rugs from Asia were very popular. Now, Oriental rugs from other parts of the world such as the Middle East also sell well.

Do not use a standard upright vacuum to clean oriental rugs because the rolling pin with bristles can damage the carpet. Instead, use a stick vacuum or a broom. Also, rotate the rug every six months to a year so that each part of the rug receives the same amount of sunlight. This prevents the rug from fading excessively in one area.
