Ghiordes rugs come from the town off Ghiordes (Gördes), northeast of İzmir in western Anatolia (now in Turkey). Ghiordes rugs are famous for their intricate designs, sturdy construction, and rich cultural heritage. Colors: soft peach/greens/cinnamon/pale gold/ivory/olive.
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.
