1) Regular rotation (every 6 months)
Why?

• Even wear (prevents worn pathways).
• Protects from UV rays (fading) and oxidation (natural dyes).
• Extends lifespan (50 to 100 years without loss of beauty).

2) Spot cleaning (gentle method)
With Marseille soap (no chemicals!)

• Absorb excess:
  For liquids: gently scrape with a spoon (do not rub).
  Avoid spreading the stain.
  
• Apply soap:
  Dip a block of Marseille soap in lukewarm water.
  Rub the stain in circular motions, let sit for 5 min.
  
• Rinse and dry:
  Wipe with a damp cloth (clear water).
  Elevate the rug (on a chair) for air drying.
  Tip: Use a fan (avoid direct sun).

⚠️ Avoid:

• Abrasive sponges or hard brushes.
• Bleach, ammonia (destroy fibers and dyes).

3) Drying: the key to preventing mold and moths
Risks of improper drying:

• Musty odors, white spots (mineral salts).
• Deformation and proliferation of dust mites/moths.

Best practices:

• Dry flat or elevated (no folding).
• Aerate both sides of the rug.
• Avoid residual moisture (dryer or fan if necessary).

Where do Ghazni rugs come from?
Ghazni rugs, originating from the eponymous region, are famous for their robust yet soft wool. Made using ancestral techniques, they feature traditional Afghan motifs, combining geometric and floral elements. Dyed with natural pigments, these rugs offer vibrant and long-lasting colors. Choosing a Ghazni rug means incorporating a piece into your home that blends history, culture, and artisanal refinement, guaranteeing elegance and authenticity.

How are they woven?
These Ghazni rugs, treasures of Afghan craftsmanship, are meticulously handmade. Made from high-altitude wool, they are dyed with natural colorants, ensuring vibrant and resistant colors. The traditional knotting, passed down through generations, creates detailed patterns, reflecting Afghan culture. Each Ghazni rug is unique, combining durability with sophisticated aesthetics, perfect for any home decor.

What are their characteristics?
Ghazni wool is thicker and more resilient than other types of wool, which gives the rugs great durability and a dense texture. They are well-suited for high-traffic areas due to their ability to withstand wear and tear. Ghazni rugs are often characterized by deep, rich colors, including reds, blues, and golden yellows. The dyes used are generally natural, which gives the rug unique and lasting hues.

How to recognize a real Ghazni rug?
The most distinctive characteristic of a Ghazni rug is its use of Ghazni wool. This wool, sourced from the Ghazni region of Afghanistan, is renowned for its robustness and fineness. It has a unique texture that can be identified by touch: it is both soft and dense. Authentic Ghazni rugs are hand-woven, which results in distinct quality and fineness of weave. The knots are tight and regular, and the back of the rug should reveal careful handiwork.
