（1）Carpet Laying (But not a must)  You may put an underlay under it. This will prevent the carpet slipping, give better foot feels, absorb the moisture of the floor and prolong its life.

(2) Dirt removal（dust catcher is not recommended）  With good air permeability, silk carpet is not easy to absorb the dirt. So generally you just need to pat or brush over the dust once a week. When it accumulate much dust, you can use the light dust catcher to absorb the dust in direction hair. Don’t suck up the fringe.

(3) Partial cleaning Avoid the water or other liquid sprinkling on the carpet. If making it wet out carelessly, use a clean water-absorbing white cloth or towel to soak up as much liquid as possible immediately and then take it to the well ventilated place to make it dry. If the stains are hard, wipe it with a damp cloth, then use a cloth with clean warm water combining some white vinegar to brush softly. If urgently, a drop of shampoo would also work out. Remember always work from the periphery towards the center of the stain. Also, YISI is always ready to help you solve that!

(4)Overall cleaning  Generally speaking, your carpet may have a complete professional wash every two or three years. Make sure the back of the rug is completely dry before you use it again. The frequency of the cleaning depends on the specific condition. One of our customers came to clean his silk carpet for the first time after using it for seventeen years.

(5)Preservation  Avoid retting or damping it for long. Take the carpet to a ventilated and cool place without the straight sunburn to air one time a year. You can roll it in direction of the hair within brown paper and place it in a dry and ventilated place to store. Do not put the carpet in the plastic bag for long. Every one year, please shift the direction of the hair of the carpet so as the carpet can get the balanced force and color.
