Stopping Dirt at The Door

Holy smokes that’s a lot of work (picturing ALL those rugs laying out in your field)!

How often do you do this deep cleaning of the rugs?
How does one know they are getting a real Persian rug vs a knock-off?
Best place to purchase from in the US?

We will be moving into our new house this spring. It has heated (stained & sealed) concrete flooring throughout, so I’ll need to get some kind of area rugs for various places.
Thanks.

oh gosh…i suppose when the spirit moves me i get into changing out all my rugs. Three years maybe? Depends… So i clean all the current ones and mothproof them and roll them up and store them til i want to see them again. Or i sell them if i’m tired of them. I think most of the ones you see in that pic i’ve sold.
