HOW SHOULD YOU CARE FOR A SHYRDAK?

Proper care prolongs the life of your Shyrdak:

• Use a sponge and soapy water to remove stains, and an iron or sunlight to dry your Shyrdak.

• Vacuum clean on a low setting without using a brush attachment.

• Shake the rug outside and beat it with a stick or a carpet beater.

• Expose to direct sunlight outdoors for 3 hours twice a year.

• When storing, make sure to use anti-moth spray and keep the storage room dry.

Shyrdak is listed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.
