At Nalbandian Carpets, every carpet is a piece of art — whether crafted by hand or woven with precision. Proper care ensures your rug remains as beautiful as the day it arrived. Below, you'll find care guidelines tailored to each type in our collection.
Handmade Carpets
Our handcrafted rugs are unique creations made using centuries-old techniques.
- Vacuum gently using the lowest suction setting, always in the direction of the pile. Avoid fringes and edges.
- Do not use beaters or aggressive brushes that may loosen the knots.
- For minor spills, gently dab the area with a damp microfiber cloth and carpet-safe soap. Avoid scrubbing.
- For stubborn stains, we recommend contacting us to arrange a professional cleaning service tailored to handmade carpets.
Hand-Tufted Carpets
Designed for durability and elegance, these carpets require thoughtful maintenance.
- Vacuum gently using the lowest suction setting, always in the direction of the pile. Avoid fringes and edges.
- Avoid excessive vacuuming or the use of beaters and harsh brushes, as they may weaken the backing and loosen the knots.
- For spot cleaning, apply only the dry foam of a carpet-safe soap using a soft cloth. Avoid soaking, scrubbing, or using abrasive materials.
- For deep cleaning, we recommend contacting us to arrange a professional cleaning service tailored to handmade carpets.
Machine-Made Carpets
Combining technical precision and refined materials, care depends on the fiber blend.
All-Silk Carpets
- Vacuum on lowest suction, following the pile direction. Avoid fringes and edges.
- For any stain — large or small — we recommend contacting us to arrange cleaning with a silk carpet specialist.
Silk & Wool Blends / All-Wool Carpets
- Vacuum on lowest suction, following the pile direction. Avoid fringes and edges.
- For small stains, gently dab with a microfiber cloth dampened in lukewarm water and a small amount of carpet-safe detergent. Avoid rubbing or using rough fabrics.
- For stubborn stains, we recommend contacting us to arrange a professional cleaning service tailored to handmade carpets.
Outdoor Carpets
Crafted for ease and resilience, these rugs are ideal for high-use areas.
- Clean using your preferred method: vacuuming, washing, or even hosing down.
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Annual Deep Cleaning
To preserve the texture, vibrancy, and structure of your rug, we recommend professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months. The ideal period is April to September, when carpets dry more effectively.
