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 Heriz rugs come from? Located in the northeastern province of Iran, the city of Heriz (or Heris) and its neighboring villages produce many wool and silk rugs.

How are Heriz rugs made? Heriz rugs are made from coarse wool, purchased and dyed in Tabriz. The warp and weft are made of natural cotton. The pile of these rugs is high and irregular, yet they are hard-wearing.

What are their patterns? Old Heriz rugs are very often characterized by a brick red tone and a rose dugh tone obtained from madder. Today, manufacturers produce many antique-style Heriz rugs using synthetic dyes.

How do you recognize a genuine Heriz rug? These Heriz rugs are solid and affordable. A recent Heriz rug can be easily recognized by its thickness, as older rugs were much thinner. The particular charm of these rugs is due to the unusual tone of the colors.

Invite Persia into your home, explore our collection today and let yourself be captivated by the beauty and magic of handmade Heriz rugs, a priceless treasure for your interior. All our rugs are sold with their certificate of origin.
