Sarouk Rugs
Vintage Persian Sarouk Rug 6'9 x 9'9. The vintage rugs of Sarouk, from the Arak province town of that name and surrounding villages, were created to satisfy American demand for a very thick, dense, very long wearing carpet with enough oriental touches to make them instantly identifiable. The wool is amazingly good and the dyes, although in a relatively narrow range, are warm and inviting.
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.
