AREA RUG CARE & MAINTENANCE
Even if you don’t have a lot of spare time, there are some quick & easy tasks you can perform to protect the look and longevity of your area rug. For instance, preventative maintenance will go a long way to keep your rug looking as good as new for years to come.
THE FIRST STEP IS TO ESTABLISH A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ROUTINE THAT’S EASY FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY TO FOLLOW.
REMOVE OUTDOOR SHOES
Remove outdoor shoes before walking across your rugs so you don’t track dirt inside the house.
AREA RUG PADS
Use a good quality rug pad for additional support!
WEEKLY VACUUMING
Daily to weekly vacuuming with a manufacturer-approved appliance is sometimes all you need to keep your area rug looking and feeling great!
DEALING WITH STAINS
No matter how careful you are and how much you stick to your care and maintenance routine, your area rug will still most likely fall victim to the occasional spill. Fortunately, many of our area rugs are sold with stain-resistant technology built into the fibers.
Before you start to clean the spill, establish whether it’s an oil-based stain or a water-based stain. Then, consult your manufacturer's cleaning guidelines. Consider investing in a manufacturer-approved cleaning product or two as well! Finally, consult our stain removal guide below.
