Turkish Hereke-Konya-Sivas Rugs
Sivas in eastern Anatolia is best known for interpretations in light tones of oriental rug designs. They are decorative in the best sense but are actually quite hard to find. This rug has a wonderful, detailed design with wild animals scattered all over the rug including the border. The rug is lightly distressed that adds to is overall charm. Colors: charcoal-blue/ivory/gray/taupe.
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.
