Afshar Rugs
Lightly distressed adding to the beauty and interest of this Afshar rug. Afshar carpets come from northeastern Iran. They are made by the Afshar tribe. These former nomads have been knotting carpets for generations to secure their existence. Now they have settled down and can be found in Afshar. Colors: camel/blues/beige.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
