Vacuum silk rugs regularly. Sweep silk rugs with a broom. Shake the rug.
Use a brushless suction head to vacuum silk rugs. Beater or roller brushes may pull out fibers, reduce the pile and damage the rug. Gently sweep the rug to avoid damaging the fibers. Remove dust and debris by shaking the rug off outside. This also will help air out the rug to remove any odors.
