Quite simply, some rugs deserve protection and preservation. They may be a central part of your room’s decor in Pala, a family treasure, or an important tradition. Regular cleaning is critical, as dust and grime get trapped deep down below where vacuuming can reach. Besides dulling the appearance, abrasive particles cause a great deal of unnecessary wear. But unlike synthetic and wall-to-wall carpet, fine area rugs should never be steam cleaned or machine dry cleaned.

Pala?
Pala is a “census designated place” rather than an incorporated city. It’s been debated whether its name comes from Cupeno or Luiseno “pal” for “water” or Spanish “pala” for shovel. “Shovel” seem to fit, as the area is known for its mineral treasures. Shortly after the Mexican-American war, mining shifted from gold to tourmaline. Pala’s tourmaline was especially treasured by Chinese Dowager Empress Qing, leading to its popularity in the early 1900s.
