Iranian Carpets – The History and Science of Carpets

Iranian carpets are known worldwide for their exceptional quality, artistic beauty and precise craftsmanship. The art of carpet weaving has been passed down from generation to generation in Iran for centuries. The carpets reflect the rich cultural history and artistic diversity of the country.

Iranian carpets delight with an endless variety of designs, patterns and colours. The traditional geometric motif has a filigree design in the interior – you can create a beautiful interior style with it. Each carpet tells a unique story and is an expression of the creativity and craftsmanship of the carpet weavers.

Iranian hand-knotted carpets occupy a prominent place among oriental carpets and create a magical atmosphere in any interior. These precious pieces of pure wool are characterised by their ingenious knotting and tasteful filigree patterns, which are the result of extremely precise craftsmanship. Many beautiful motifs are inspired by nature: animals and flowers. The colours used in Iranian carpets are also of great importance. The different colours symbolise wealth, happiness, power, loyalty, but also loneliness.The colours are created using natural dyes by artisans with exceptional knowledge.

Iranian wool carpets are extremely durable and resistant to the wear and tear of everyday use. Wool has a natural dirt repellent effect and is easy to clean. It is also non-flammable and retains its characteristic shape as the pile of the carpet does not flatten but always returns to its original shape. Iranian carpets are not just decorative items, but rather works of art that resemble paintings.

Iranian carpets are distinguished by their superior quality and durability. Careful handwork and precise knotting ensure that the carpets retain their beauty and quality even after many years. This is a wonderful example of luxury and elegance.

Iranian carpet cleaning and maintenance

Iranian carpets with natural material require professional care. It is not recommended to attempt home deep cleaning by means of a steam cleaner from the back and front, as the steam cleaner is unable to clean it all and the excessive heat penetrating it damages the wool and its natural lanolin. Excessive heat can also lead to shrinkage of the natural fibres of Iranian carpets, which can put you at risk of permanent damage.

Home care for Iranian carpets is simple. Regular weekly vacuuming ideally with a knocking head will not harm it for decades. The natural vegetable dyes, dense weave and natural grease of virgin wool provide protection so most dirt will not penetrate the carpet at all. Only the smallest particles of sand and dust can settle in the foundation over time. In order to remove even the smallest dust particles from the carpet, it is recommended to have the carpet deep cleaned every 2-3 years by an expert – professional natural carpet cleaner.

In everyday life, Iranian carpets know only two enemies: red wine and years of sunlight. Red wine stains can be treated, but cleaning is very time consuming and therefore a non-negligible cost factor. To prevent one-sided exposure of the carpet to sunlight, it helps to rotate the carpet frequently at even intervals so that both sides are exposed to similar amounts of sunlight. The sun does not necessarily lead to a reduction in the value of the carpet. Many old and antique Iranian carpets have only become particularly beautiful and valuable through even exposure to sunlight. Some Iranian carpets are even exposed to the sun for long periods of time to give the colour a brighter and more balanced sheen.

If an Iranian carpet only comes into contact with water, it is usually enough to dry it thoroughly on both sides. The carpet will lift for several days when wet, as the warp expands due to the moisture. Once the moisture has escaped from the carpet, the warp will settle again and the carpet will not change. Heavy rubbing of water stains in dry conditions or the use of cleaning agents should be avoided, as both can damage the Iranian carpet. In the case of coffee or cola stains, you should contact a professional as soon as possible. You can treat the stain yourself using lukewarm water and dishwashing detergent. However, you should seek professional advice before doing so.

Mold Removal + Mold Prevention It is important not to neglect older Iranian carpets that may smell of mold or damp odor, as natural carpets have a natural tendency to retain moisture which later leads to mold. There are several ways you can get rid of unpleasant odours by cleaning your carpets:

• Leave an Iranian rug in sunlight for a few hours.
• Blow dry the carpet with a fan on both sides, remembering to work in sections.
• Take the carpet to a professional carpet cleaner – this is a guaranteed way to get rid of mildew from Iranian carpet.

The professional carpet cleaning and the reputable Iranian carpet maintenance provided through expertly skilled technology brings assurance that your Iranian carpet will not shrink, fade, or even show any damage.

• We first remove most of the dirt and dust from your Iranian carpet by hand with gentle machinery, instead of running it through aggressive equipment that can damage your precious carpet.
• Depending on the material of your Iranian carpet, we will use a specialized stain remover to thoroughly remove or reduce the stain depending on the condition of the carpet.
• Depending on the material, your carpet will either be cleaned in a water bath and then chemically cleaned using special “WOOL SAFE” chemical cleaners.
• Iranian carpets are then dried as best as possible to remove excess moisture and allowed to dry and turned off.
• Finally, we thoroughly disinfect and impregnate the Iranian carpet and after a thorough inspection, we wrap it and prepare it to be handed over or transported to you.

How you can protect your carpet from damage

• The moth larvae nesting in Iranian carpets are quite common and can be controlled by regular vacuuming, leaving the carpets in sunlight for a few hours and also cleaning them professionally.
• If you want to store Iranian carpets in a warehouse, it is best to have them professionally cleaned and kept in a closed area to prevent dirt from getting on them.
• Always store the carpet in a clean, dry area as moisture causes damage to the carpet.
• To avoid excessive pressure on the carpet, use furniture covers on the legs of tables and chairs.
• Use thick rubber pads under loose rugs to prevent them from sliding. They also help manage the weight of the furniture.

In conclusion, it’s always better to have your Iranian carpets cleaned by a professional than to try to do it yourself. This is because the more likely a mistake is made, the more your carpet will be damaged or may become locally degraded, even irreversibly.
