Karastan rugs are globally renowned for their exquisite durability and exceptional appearance. Uniqueness has always been important to the company's winning profile. Karastan's first rug was woven in 1928. The event followed the invention of a new and unique loom which made rugs that imitated handmade quality rugs exactly.

Now Karastan rugs are the acclaimed leaders in the high quality machine rug market as they continue their innovations. Karastan recently began offering custom made rugs that allow customers to use their choice of color schemes on Karastan designs.

Another factor that makes Karastan rugs special and popular is that they are made of New Zealand Wool. While this serves to make the rugs both beautiful and durable, it also presents a special cleaning challenge. Many Karastan rug owners wonder how to care for their beloved rugs, and fortunately Karastan has answers for them.

Karastan's first rug care tip recommends that customers obtain pads for their rugs. Using pads will prevent rug slippage that can make the rugs wear out too soon.

Secondly Karastan recommends that customers move their rugs to another spot in the house after six months. Over time continuous traffic and sunlight on the same spots will fade rug colors or cause the rugs to wear unevenly. Regular rotation can prevent these problems.

For eliminating ordinary dirt and dust Karastan advises customers to vacuum regularly. For fringed rug maintenance Karastan cautions to avoid getting the fringes trapped in the vacuum. This is a precaution to take seriously as the vacuum can tear the fringes off if it grabs them.

At least two to three weekly sessions of vacuuming are needed to keep Karastan rugs in good condition their first year. Practicing this tip will help remove some fuzz that appears on the rugs. The fuzzy material is an absolutely harmless byproduct of the manufacturing process which does not affect the durability of the rugs. It will gradually disappear after the first year.

The last regular care tip from Karastan involves the vacuuming schedule for rugs that are over one year old. Karastan prescribes that such rugs be vacuumed daily if they are placed in heavy traffic areas. This will eliminate the dirt and debris that can grind down the rug's fibers.

Karastan lists specific additional recommendations for stain removal online. Ensuring that both Karastan's normal maintenance and stain removal advice are followed will preserve Karastan rugs for future generations.
