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 they come from? Aryana rugs originate from Afghanistan, a country rich in tradition and culture. They take their name from the Aryana region – formerly known as "Ariana" – an ancient civilization that encompassed a large part of Central Asia. Aryana rugs are carefully crafted by Afghan artisans, who perpetuate weaving techniques passed down from generation to generation. These rugs captivate with their varied patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting Afghanistan's unique artistic and cultural heritage.
How are they made? Aryana rugs are made with unparalleled artisanal expertise, inherited from generations of Afghan artisans. It all begins with the meticulous selection of high-quality wool, sourced from sheep raised in the mountains of Afghanistan. This wool is then hand-spun and dyed with natural pigments from plants and minerals, giving the rugs their rich and lasting colors. Artisans then use traditional looms to knot each strand of wool, creating complex and varied patterns. This artisanal process often takes months, even years, to produce a single Aryana rug, making each piece a unique work of art.

What are their characteristics? Aryana rugs are distinguished by several remarkable characteristics. First, their exceptional quality is evident in the careful selection of materials used, notably high-quality wool from sheep raised in the Afghan mountains. This wool is renowned for its softness, durability, and resistance to wear. In addition, Aryana rugs stand out for their varied patterns and vibrant colors, inspired by Afghan landscapes, culture, and traditions. Each rug is a unique work of art, crafted with care and precision by expert artisans, making them central pieces in any decor.

How can you recognize a genuine Aryana rug? A true Aryana rug can be recognized by the quality of its wool, often from the Afghan mountains, and by its varied patterns, reflecting local culture and traditions. The bright and rich colors, obtained from natural pigments, are also characteristic. High-quality traditional craftsmanship, visible in the weaving details, is another distinctive sign. Finally, the Afghan origin of the rug is a guarantee of authenticity, attesting to its provenance and artisanal heritage.
