Vacuum Regularly
Use a vacuum cleaner with a gentle setting to remove dirt and dust. Aim for at least once a week, and more frequently in high-traffic areas.
Rotate Your Rug
Every 6-12 months, rotate your rug to ensure even wear from sunlight and foot traffic.
Spot Cleaning
Blot Stains Immediately: Use a clean cloth to blot spills, working from the outside in to prevent spreading.
Use Mild Detergents: For tougher stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and test on a hidden area first. Blot, don’t rub.
Deep Cleaning
Professional Cleaning: For a thorough clean, consider having your rug professionally cleaned every 1-2 years.
Steam Cleaning: If you prefer DIY, use a steam cleaner specifically designed for rugs, ensuring it’s suitable for your rug’s material.
Avoiding Damage
Keep Out of Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading. Use curtains or blinds to protect your rug.
Use a Rug Pad: A high-quality rug pad can prevent slipping and prolong your rug’s life.
Storage
Roll, Don’t Fold: If you need to store your rug, roll it up with the pile facing inward to prevent creasing.
Choose a Cool, Dry Place: Store your rug in a climate-controlled environment to avoid moisture and pests. By following these tips, your rug will maintain its beauty and last for generations to come!
