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 Ardabil carpets come from? Located near the Caspian Sea in Persia, Ardabil is the only locality in Eastern Azerbaijan that can be described as a city, with approximately 200,000 inhabitants. Situated in the center of Azerbaijan's main agricultural region, Ardabil is renowned for the therapeutic qualities of its waters and muds. The name Ardabil derives from Ardabil, a holy city.

How old are the first Ardabil carpets? The weaving tradition in Ardabil is very old. It was in the city's main mosque that the famous and magnificent Safavid carpet with lobed medallions, depicting scenes of two dragons fighting alternating with flying phoenixes, now exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, was found.

How are Ardabil carpets made? The knotting is asymmetric, with high density and executed with a particular instrument, equipped with a hook that allows the sheep's wool to be wrapped around the warp, and a blade used to cut the ends of the threads. Ardabil carpets are very durable and highly sought after in the market.
