Caring for your area rug
Your area rug in an investment in your home like all your other furnishings. A good area rug care and maintenance routine will extend the useful life of your rug.
Regular Cleaning:
- Vacuum your area rugs regularly (at least once a week) with the upholstery attachment to remove dust, dirt, and pet hair.
- Use a low-power setting to avoid damaging delicate fibers.
Spot Cleaning:
- Act quickly to blot up spills with a clean, absorbent cloth.
- For stubborn stains, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaning solution specifically designed for area rugs. Always test the solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Deep Cleaning:
- Deep cleaning every 1-2 years is recommended for optimal rug care.
- Depending on the material and level of cleaning needed, you can choose professional cleaning services or follow recommended deep cleaning techniques at home.
Preventative Care:
- Place doormats at entryways to trap dirt and debris before it reaches your rugs.
- Rotate your area rugs occasionally to prevent uneven wear.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.
