Care & Expertise
Is It Real Silk — or "Art Silk"?
"Art silk" and "bamboo silk" are marketing names for viscose, not real silk — and they're cleaned very differently. If you're not sure which one you have, check our Viscose guide, or just ask — we can tell the difference.
Caring for Real Silk
- Rotate your rug every 6 months to prevent uneven fading and wear patterns
- Keep out of direct, prolonged sunlight — silk fades faster than most fibers
- Never attempt water or steam cleaning at home
- Professional cleaning recommended every 1–2 years
- Watch for moth activity — silk (like wool) is a natural fiber moths are drawn to
Maintenance Between Cleanings
Light, gentle vacuuming only — low suction, no beater bar, and ideally through a mesh screen if your vacuum doesn't have a delicate setting. Never shake out a silk rug the way you might a wool or cotton one; the fibers are too delicate for that kind of handling.
Why Professional Cleaning Matters Here
Silk fibers are exceptionally fine and lose strength when wet — even brief water exposure can cause permanent fiber damage, watermarks, or sheen loss that can't be reversed. This is why silk cleaning uses dry methods exclusively, and why it's genuinely one of the few fiber types where a DIY attempt can cause damage in minutes that no amount of professional correction can fully undo afterward.
Silk rugs receive individual, hands-on attention using dry-cleaning methods suited specifically to this fiber. See our full process →

Frequently Asked Questions
Are silk rugs worth the investment?
Genuine silk rugs are prized for their sheen and detail, but they need more careful maintenance than other fibers — rotate every 6 months to prevent uneven fading, keep out of direct sunlight, and have them professionally cleaned every 1–2 years rather than washed at home.
Can a silk rug be washed like other rugs?
No — silk requires dry-cleaning methods rather than water-based washing, and every silk rug gets individual attention. Never attempt water or steam cleaning at home.
How often should a silk rug be professionally cleaned?
We recommend professional cleaning every 1–2 years.
What's the difference between silk and "art silk"?
