How to maintain your precious handmade carpet this winter 2025 ?

Besides being items used to beautify home, handmade carpets can be described as invaluable art pieces that make home warm with sophistication. To maintain the look and durability of your delicate handmade carpets, you should be more careful as the winter of the year 2025 approaches. There are, of course, additional considerations during the winter such as dust is thicker and  moisture levels fluctuate but maintaining your carpet isn’t a difficult task.

Regular Vacuuming Is Key
This is a problem for all the seasons, but perhaps particularly in winters when dust and dirt are tracked inside. Walking on a freshly made handmade carpet should be avoided to prevent dirt from setting in the fiber of the carpet and therefore, vacuuming the carpet should be done regularly. A vacuum cleaner with different power or suction strength must be preferred and beater bars should be avoided, as these can destroy handknotted patterns. For busy areas, it’s recommended that you vacuum the carpet at least twice in a week to keep it looking as good as new.

Rotate Your Carpet

Cycling your carpet every few months is also one of the best preventive measures to be taken for avoiding them to wear out unevenly. Some parts of your home might be relatively more used during winter than others; around the furnaces or the sitting area for instance. This makes the carpet fade evenly and thus, one can change the direction it is rotated to, regularly.

Prevent Exposure to Water and Spillages

Unfortunately, winter goes hand in hand with rain, and snow, and warm beverages, meaning more exposure to moisture and potential accidents. Use of mats should be done in areas such as doors, walls, floor and windows so that they can minimize indoor moisture brought in by people. In the event of a spill, wipe with a dry cloth to minimise staining of the fabric. Do not rub any part as it only pushes the stain deeper into the fiber. For any deep cleaning, it is recommended that you use carpet cleaners that are particularly intended for those handmade carpets.

Use Carpet Pads During Cleaning For Extra Protection

They additionally give added comfort, and help your handmade carpet avoid slipping or curling up at the edges. In winter, they shield you from the cold and keep your carpet more pristine and your home warmer. Select pads that are made from natural and breathable material in order to prevent moisture build up underneath the rug.

Do Not Place Near Sources of Heat

Some people love to place their carpet near heaters or fireplaces so that everyone who is in the room will be comfortable, but when this happens, the fibers of the carpet dries up and gets rigid or hard. However, be careful to place your handmade carpet to an appropriate distance from the direct heat sources. It is advised to place a protective barrier on the surface, specifically a heat resistant rug pad just in case.

Roll up the carpet and then put it in a breathable bag and store in a cool and dry place where there is no exposure to light or humidity.

Air Out Regularly

During clear, sunny winter weather it is recommended that you open your windows to remove musty odors from your carpet. If you want it to dry, air out, or simply prevent it from getting faded by the sun, you should hang it in a part of your house that does not get too much sun, but must be well ventilated.
