The exact opposite is true, as long as you do it properly. Make sure that the beater on your vacuum is at the highest position so that it does not dig into the fabric of the rug and cut and scrape the fiber.

A specialist in oriental rug cleaning knows all about the construction of the rug and how important it is to protect the fiber. It is very important to have the rug cleaned so that the beautiful vibrant colors can once again be seen, without any damage to the material or the risk that the colors will run together. An expert knows how to do this. If you want your oriental rug to be a part of your life for a long time, and it certainly can be, you should do your routine care such as vacuuming and quick spill cleanup, and leave the heavy duty care to professionals who will do it right.
