How to maintain woven carpets
Carpet care is also very important. Proper and principled maintenance of the carpet increases the life of the carpet and has an effective role in increasing the economic value of the carpet. With a closer look, we notice that the maintenance of the carpet has started since the preparation of the raw materials and continues until the end of the life of the carpet.
Harmful and damaging factors of carpets are: insects, carpet beetles, termites, crickets, bath beetles, willows and mice, which are considered as living factors and factors such as humidity, heat, light and environmental pollution are considered as non-living factors.
To prevent the destruction of the carpet by the above factors, it is better to avoid placing the carpet in a dark and humid environment. Also, avoid direct sunlight on the carpet, because direct sunlight, in addition to changing the color of the carpet, causes the destruction of its fibers, which is why we mentioned in the discussion of washing the carpet that it should not be exposed to direct sunlight to dry the carpet. Use the sun.
As for the method of preventing the destruction of carpets by pests, they should be removed as soon as they see the above insects by the special pesticides of these insects. Also, disinfect the carpet storage area. In the case of wilting, it is better to anti-willow when preparing raw materials (wool, silk, cotton) and if the above is not possible, after finishing the weaving of the carpet, make the carpet anti-willow and at the same time remove the carpet and raw materials. Avoid in a dark and humid environment
In the case of carpets that are used as sales, however, once the carpet is moved so that the air flow is established and the carpet does not suffer from wilting.
Regarding the method of storage of raw materials, it is better to identify the physical and chemical properties of these materials, because knowing these properties will help to maintain them properly. However, in general, the factors of heat, moisture and chemicals have adverse effects and cause fiber rot. Therefore, it is better to avoid placing the above fibers in unfavorable environments, because if the raw materials are damaged, the carpet woven with these materials will not be strong enough, and if the above fibers are destroyed, they should be avoided.
When weaving, try to avoid stopping work as much as possible, and if for any reason you have to stop working, the following principles should be observed:
1. Put the carpet weaving machine in a suitable environment and, as we explained in the discussion of safety and health tips in the carpet weaving workshop, avoid placing it in a damp and dark room. Also avoid direct sunlight.
2. If we have to stop continuing to weave the carpet, first loosen the hoses and cover the carpets and hooks with a clean cloth so that the air flow is not blocked.
3. Avoid creating dust because dust particles cause caries to rot. 4- Check the carpets and rugs regularly and make sure that the carpenters and the woven carpets and rugs are in order to take the necessary measures in case of any damage.
As you know, carpets are used for sale or decoration. In any case, we must take care of it in a principled way so that it is maintained in a desirable way. If we want to sell carpets as a sale, we must pay attention to the following points:
1. Avoid placing the carpet in a humid and dark environment.
2. Avoid direct sunlight on the carpet.
3. The dimensions of the carpet should be appropriate to the dimensions of the room and we should try not to make the carpet bigger than the dimensions of the room, because if it is large, we will have to fold the carpet from the side and the folding will cause the carpet to crack and be damaged.
4. Avoid throwing carpets on gypsum and limestone soils because gypsum and lime cause the carpet to rot.
5. If possible, try to use a suitable seller such as carpet for under the carpet to absorb any possible moisture and prevent damage to the carpet.
6. It is better to hide the roots of the carpet under it so that it does not wear out due to traffic.
7. Avoid placing carpets next to high temperatures and chemicals.
8. Avoid placing heavy, sharp objects on the carpet.
If the carpet is used as a sign, it is necessary to observe the following points:
1. Avoid hanging carpets on gypsum and lime walls.
2. Avoid hitting the nail directly on the carpet because if it rusts, it will damage the fibers and cause it to rot.
3. Since the carpet weaving part of the carpet does not have the necessary durability and strength, it is better to connect the carpet to the wall from the side part.
In addition to the above, it is better not to keep the carpet folded and piped as much as possible, because in the open method, the possibility of damaging the carpet is much less due to the presence of air flow.
If we have to keep the carpet tubed or folded, it is best to fold it from the back to keep the carpet surface level so that the back is out and the inside is in place. Folding or piping should be done regularly and regularly. To further protect the carpet, pour tobacco or taffeta on it, and also keep the carpet in a hygienic environment, and open the carpeted and folded carpet from time to time, and check to make sure it is healthy.
