Let’s not sugar coat the fact that oriental and Persian rugs are expensive. Think about it: each are handmade, taking at least a year or more, with intricate designs by skilled weavers who pour their family’s history into their work. The older your oriental or Persian rug is, the more valuable it is. The same can be said for its condition. Most people who purchase oriental rugs are prepared for the expense of having one. Most use them as heirlooms or as design showpieces. If your oriental or Persian rug is made from silk, it requires even more care and regular maintenance.
That being said, many people who have oriental or Persian rugs have children. So how do you keep your valuable piece of art in tip-top shape when you have kids running around?

We all know that kids love to run around and play, tumble and tussle, and wrestle together. This type of play is not the best for your highly-intricate and ornate oriental or Persian rug. While kids mean well, they are kids and will most likely get distracted and play on your oriental or Persian rug. Oriental Express in Las Vegas recommends that you put your oriental or Persian rug in a room that your children will be less inclined to play in, such as an out-of-the-way library or den, or in a room that is tucked into the corner of your home. While we understand that you want to show your oriental or Persian rug off to visitors, while your children are little, it’s best to keep it tucked away.
Food, drink, and other kid favorite substances such as silly putty, paint, and play-doh need to be kept far, far away from your oriental or Persian rug. These materials, if spilled or ground into your oriental or Persian rug will, in the best case scenario, require a professional oriental rug cleaning from a top-notch oriental rug cleaning company, such as Oriental Express in Las Vegas, or, in the worst case scenario, completely ruin your oriental rug.
Oriental Express in Las Vegas recommends that you set ground rules for kids, including no food, drink, crayons, or other substances in the room as your oriental or Persian rug.
While your child may be 100% trustworthy and obey every ground rule you set forth with regards to your oriental or Persian rug, your child’s friends may not. When you have visiting children in your home, it’s important to not only go over the rules with the other children, but also to watch them like a hawk. Children have a way of doing things you specifically say don’t do. It seems it’s their nature. Thus, you need to be extra vigilant about your oriental or Persian rug when your child’s friends are over.
If you host Thanksgiving or Christmas every year and the entire family piles into your home, including your nieces and nephews, you need to be wary as well. When celebrations are underway, adults tend to have a couple of glasses of wine and not remember too well the rules of your oriental or Persian rug. Also, the kids tend to run around while the adults are too busy socializing and catching up with each other. Unsupervised children can lead to accidents that could be permanent in the case of your oriental or Persian rug. Oriental Express in Las Vegas recommends that anytime you have guests in your home, you need to be extra protective of your oriental or Persian rug.
If something does happen to your precious oriental or Persian rug, such as spilled juice, food crumbs, or other mishap, remember after all that it’s just a rug.
