Routine care & maintenance
Regular vacuuming is essential for removing dust, dirt, and debris that can accumulate on your area rug's surface. Use the appropriate vacuum setting for area rugs to avoid damaging the fibers. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning every 1-2 years is recommended, depending on the rug's material and level of use.
Here are some additional tips to extend the life of your area rugs:
- Shake out rugs outdoors periodically: This can help remove loose dirt and dust particles.
- Rotate your rugs occasionally: Even wear and tear will help extend the life of your rug.
Area Rug spills & stains
Act quickly to address spills and prevent permanent damage. Blot up any excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For specific stain removal techniques, it's important to consult the cleaning instructions provided with your rug or the manufacturer's guide. Following the recommended cleaning methods will help you avoid damaging the rug's fibers or colors.
