Why do silk carpets need more care than other carpets?

Care of silk carpets is one of the most important issues compared to other carpets, because silk threads are considered one of the most expensive and valuable fibers. These carpets are known as luxury carpets and if 100% silk is used in it, the price also increases. That is why, first and foremost, it is very important to take care of them. Silk threads are durable and after a while also do not lose their original condition and luster.

It is interesting to point out that silk, despite its resilience, is one of the most vulnerable materials. In fact, it can not withstand moisture, heat and harmful chemicals for a long time, and the slightest serious damage will cause high costs. Do not treat silk carpets like other regular carpets and do not allow moisture to remain on the carpet for long periods of time, as water and moisture can lead to mold growth. Be careful, these types of carpets are always trying to absorb moisture.
