CARE & MAINTENANCE

Routine Area Rug Care

Routine care is important to keep your area rugs looking and performing their best. Everyday dirt and debris can contribute to wear and tear by breaking down the fibers, which reduce the lifespan of your rugs. So it's important to vacuum regularly, how often depends on how much foot traffic they receive. It is also important to invest in a professional cleaning about once every 12-18 months to restore your rug's sheen and extend its life. Additionally, taking off shoes or using doormats at entry points prevents dirt and debris from being tracked into your home. If you have pets, be sure to keep their nails trimmed to prevent snagging.

Area Rug Spills

Unfortunately, spills are inevitable, but acting quickly can prevent them from persisting. Simply blot the spill with a clean cloth or paper towel. Be sure to avoid rubbing, as this can push the spill deeper into the fibers. Vacuum any solids.
