FAQs:
What do you recommend for rug maintenance?
You should vacuum your rug the same as you would carpet but be careful on any fringes getting pulled into the vacuum cleaner. Rotating your rug 180 degrees every few months helps make sure it’s exposed to light equally so that the colors fade evenly as well as being exposed to equal amounts of traffic. Have your rug professionally cleaned every 2-5 years.
Do I need padding under my area rug?
Padding can help to stabilize and protect your rug, make it safer to walk on, and will also protect its value.
What is the best way to clean up a spill on a rug?
Water should be dried as soon as possible with a hairdryer on warm to dry both sides of the rug. If other liquid spills, use salt or baking soda on the spot to absorb the liquid then vacuum it after a few minutes. You can then use a wet towel to gently wipe the stain in the direction of the nap but be gentle and don’t scrub. You can always contact a professional for cleaning if you need help.
