THE RIGHT CARE OF YOUR HANDMADE CARPETS
Once you have a handmade rug, it's good to know how to take care of it. Handmade rugs are generally durable. Unlike in machine-made, in hand-made each thread of wool is tied separately around the warp, increasing their strength. If the carpet is properly maintained, stored and cleaned on a weekly basis, it will be inherited from generation to generation as a valuable family heirloom.

CLEANING WIPE
Did you know that the best cleaning is done with snow on the carpet pile? In the old days when it snowed often in the winter, housewives used the snow. Because the snow has soft water, they bathed with it, washed their best clothes, sparkled white clothes and then washed their carpets. Plenty of water using special tools is a simple method of washing your carpet. We recommend washing 1-2 times in 5 years and only by special carpet cleaners who know about handmade carpets. Many housewives wonder about using a vacuum cleaner on their handmade rug.
The answer is YES without hesitation.
But the wiping frequency depends on the use of the carpet and the density.
THE THICKER YOUR CARPET IS,
SO LESS WIPE IS NEEDED.
We Greeks are one of the few peoples in the world who "lifts" their carpets in Spring and Summer. If this habit is followed, turn your rug upside down and press it before storing it as you would on the pile side. This way - after a week - much of the dust that has penetrated the base of the carpet will fall off and the carpet will be better cleaned. With the vacuum cleaner you absorb the dust that fell on the floor as well as the one that is on the pile of the carpet. One sweep (by electric) per week removes the dust that remains from the daily use of the carpet. Remember to wipe the upside down of your carpet as well.
Many housewives shake their carpets on the porch of their house before storing them. This can be done 1-2 times a year, without it being necessary. If the carpet is well and often vacuumed so that the dust does not reach the base of the carpet, then shaking is not necessary. We advise you not to shake those insert carpets at all, which are sparse in knots.
SILK CARPETS
On silk carpets - which are more sensitive - it is best to use a dusting brush instead of a vacuum cleaner. Keep the colors of the carpet alive with a "pass" of cloth or a soft brush with vinegar water.
ANNUAL CLEANING
Regarding the annual cleaning of your carpet, put 3 parts of lukewarm water and one part of white vinegar in a bowl. Use a brush in the solution, shake it to remove a lot of moisture and brush your carpet only in the direction of its pile. Dry your carpet in a shady and cool place. NO under the sun because the colors will change.

SAVE
Your carpets (like other precious fabrics) should be kept open (rarely, because it requires space) or wrapped (usually) in a roll for storage. It is often a bad habit to leave the rug folded in the shape of a large package. Be careful though, because in case it stays folded for more than 2 weeks, the traces from the diploma will be visible on the carpet.
It is also very possible, with the pressure received due to the diploma, to cut the warp which is the base of the carpet and this requires special repair. The majority of Oriental carpets undergo special anti-rust treatment. Nevertheless, we will refer to preventive actions against the moth. The moth is the most important enemy of the carpet. There are many sprays on the market, but we recommend that you avoid them. Vapona, camphor, naphthalene are the best. Just be careful not to come into direct contact with the carpet pile. Make sure there is no moth on your carpet before storing it in a cool, dry place.
Cover the entire surface of the rug with white or brown wrapping paper on which you pour camphor or naphthalene. This is done to avoid contact of the wool with camphor or naphthalene. Avoid newspapers, because their ink can be imprinted on your carpet. Wrapping your carpet straight and tightly into a roll make sure it has no moisture and remember to wrap it in the direction of its pile. The carpet roll should be placed horizontally on the floor so that its edges do not crease. However, the carpet can be rolled from the beginning around a hard paper roll that will be left over from the edges of the roll, so that when it is erect, the roller rests on the floor and not the edges of the carpet.
When finished, wrap the rug in a rough cotton sheet or hood, re-inserting camphor and leaving the edges of the roll open to ventilate the rug. In summer you close the ends of the roll as a precaution against the moth, while you open them in winter. At other times they used instead of naphthalene and camphor, a cloth with pure oil with which they "passed" the carpet before storing it because the smell of oil removes the moth.

THE FRICTIONS
The fringes of your carpet are the most vulnerable part of it. If the fringes are damaged, your whole carpet is threatened. So watch out for the fringes of your precious handmade rug. If you notice any loosening, consult us or find a fringe repair specialist. Washing the fringes is done carefully only in their area, without wetting the pile of the carpet with the help of detergent together with a soft brush. This is what we use for scrubbing shirt collars.
