Karastan Rugs

About Karastan Rugs

The history of Karastan dates back to 1928, when Marshall Field & Company commissioned an American Research Foundation to study Oriental rugs. After two years of research, they concluded that the best rugs were being made in the village of Kars, Turkey. This is where the name “Karastan” comes from.

In 1930, Karastan released its first line of rugs made with hand-knotted wool. These rugs quickly became popular and are still some of the most popular rugs made by the company today. Over the years, Karastan has released many different lines of rugs, including machine-made rugs, outdoor rugs, and even pet-friendly rugs.

While Karastan recommends that you have your rug professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months, there are some things you can do to clean it in between professional cleanings.

Simply vacuum your rug with the beater bar turned off for light cleaning. If there are any spots or stains, pre-treat them with a mild detergent before vacuuming.

You can rent a carpet steam cleaner or hire a professional rug cleaning company for more thorough cleaning. Be sure to test any cleaners in an inconspicuous spot before using them on the entire rug.
