About the maintenance of hand-made rugs and methodical materials on the internet pages and some books ... Read more

Bachov’s hand rug is the result of centuries of our art, culture, and national identity.tar and Podi, whose thousands of artists have shared in its formation. But in recent years, a silent and serious danger threatens this valuable heritage. The danger that comes not from water and fire, not from burnout and passage of time, but from a multitude of misinformation, unscientific and misleading. Virtual space, social networks, and unfortunately even some seemingly specialized books, are filled with materials that are introduced with the least technical knowledge and without accurate understanding of the nature of the bass rug, as home versions of care, washing and staining. It all started with copy... A look at most sites and virtual pages shows that the bulk of the content about rug maintenance is the result of an endless cycle of copies of unsourced and unsupported tracks. Recommendations that have been passed over and over again without revision and without practical experience, from site to site, from book to book and from page to page. Authors who have no expertise in rugs are not familiar with the structure of natural and chemical colors of fibers, and not the smallest understanding of the sensitive nature of wool, cotton or silk fibers, simply prescribing harmful versions for valuable carpets. Ignoring the fundamental difference between the carpet and the machine. One of the biggest errors common in these recommendations is the absolute disregard for structural differences between machine rugs and hand rugs. Most of these materials are practically written for machine rugs with artificial fibers and industrial colors. But unfortunately, these recommendations are introduced without the slightest change, as well as the method of keeping the rug. Surprisingly, the structure of natural fibers, the type of vegetable and mineral colors, and even chemical, the rate of moisture absorption and sensitivity to chemicals, in the rooftop rug, has a fundamental difference with machine rugs. The widespread and irreparable effects of this misinformation of the damage that the implementation of these non-scientific recommendations into baff rugs are not limited merely to the appearance of stains or dislocation colors. The problem is much deeper and broader. The gradual destruction of the tar structure and even the Perez of handmade rugs, the fabric of fibers due to improper chemical reactions, the uncontrolled spread of stains to the healthy parts of the rug, the deterioration and failure of crack and wool fibers, the constant reduction of the artistic and material value of the rug, contamination and microbial fungi due to the remaining moisture, color and unrecoated stains. Negative role as experts and market writers Unfortunately, the problem isn’t just limited to internet and virtual pages. In recent years, we have seen the publication of books that have come to the market with attractive titles such as “The Comprehensive Guide to the Preservation of the Carpet” or “The House of Carpet”. Books that are often not the same content as the multi- and non-scientific content of sites. Without field research, without workshops experience and based solely on easy collection, the authors have prescribed copies that in practice led to the destruction of thousands of square meters of rooftop carpets. A greater risk, normalization of wrong behaviors, perhaps the worst outcome of this misinformation, is to normalize harmful behaviors. When thousands of people in the virtual space open the wrong ways and introduce their wrong experiences as a successful solution, the general mentality goes towards making these behaviors natural and harmless. This gradual normalization has multiplied the vulnerability of rooftop rugs and makes families without doubt, take another step towards the destruction of their rugs every day. And worse, in many cases, even the most expert of the country’s reformists, carpets and stainers can’t completely restore the effects of these mistakes. Final conclusion: Baff-hand rug is not a simple consumer. Each node is history, every role. The simplest mistake in keeping can destroy the art and labor in a few minutes. distrust of surface content, copied work and without a scientific source is an urgent necessity. Any decision on the maintenance and staining of the hand rug must be made with full sensitivity and caution. And remember: Anything written on the internet or a market book is not necessarily true, even if it is repeated a thousand times.
