Oushak-Anatolian-Kars Rugs
Oushak rugs and carpets are usually designed around geometric designs with patterns such as center medallions, smaller medallions all over the surface, or scattered splashes of curls of vines and palmettes. Colors: taupe/ivory/blues/browns/apricot-pink.
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.
