How to clean handmade silk carpet?

If properly cleaned, your silk carpet will last for a long time. We recommend professional cleaning every two or three years especially for handmade silk carpet. How often you clean the silk carpet yourself will depend on the traffic and weather. Generally, handmade silk carpetin light traffic areas should be cleaned once a year; in normal traffic areas once every six months and in heavy traffic areas probably once a month. When you are cleaning a silk carpet yourself, the most common problems are over wetting and excessive use of detergents. After cleaning, please ensure your silk carpet is dried within twelve hours, otherwise mold or mildew may grow on them. Careful use of good ventilation, central heating and air conditioning systems will help the drying process. Exercise care with detergents as increasing quantities beyond the recommended solution levels won't enhance cleaning effectiveness while they may leave excess residues in your carpet which will lead to a rapid re-soiling.
