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 Sarough rugs come from? Sarough is an ancient village located approximately 40 km north of Sultanabad (or Soltanabad) in Iran. Its name is associated with a type of rug produced not only by its inhabitants but also by those in other centers in the Sultanabad region and in the city itself.

What is the history of these rugs? The production of these rugs was primarily intended for the foreign market, and their production increased in the second half of the 19th century. In the 20th century, Sarough rugs were the most exported rugs to the West, particularly to the United States, where they were highly valued for their sturdy structure, elegant design, and harmonious colors with soft, graded shades.

How to recognize a true Sarough rug? Sarough rugs have a natural cotton foundation on which the weaver creates tightly packed, asymmetrical knots using fine, silky wool of excellent quality. Sarough rugs can feature various decorative motifs, but they are always based on a floral theme.
