Karaja Rugs
Karaja is a town in N.W.Persia bordering on Caucasia well known for the significant use of the cochineal dyes reds and violets used in their rug design. The designs of Karaja rugs are influenced by the Caucasian styles and designs rather than traditional Persian motifs. Colors: burnt orange/green/ivory/gold/gray/multi.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
