Keeping your new area rugs fresh and clean
Even in an active household, proper care and maintenance will help you keep your area rugs pristine! There are many preventative measures that you can take the reduce the amount of wear that your rugs will experience:
- Use quality area rug pads under your rugs to prevent slippage, promote even wear, and provide extra cushion under foot traffic.
- Encourage guests and residents to scrape footwear before entering the home.
- Encourage guests and residents to remove footwear by entrances.
- Keep all pets groomed to reduce the amount of dander in the home.
- Keep all pet nails trimmed to reduce snags to the carpet pile.
Dirt & Debris
Vacuum as regularly as possible to effectively remove dirt and debris before they become abrasive to the surface, and to restore a fresh appearance to your rugs. If your area rug construction can't be vacuumed, take the rug outside regularly and shake loose as many particles as possible.
Spills & Stains
Treat spills as soon as possible with warm water, a clean cloth, and
gentle carpet-specific cleaner to prevent permanent stains from
forming. We recommend an annual professional rug cleaning
to remove any residual spill, stubborn stains, or lingering odors.
