Preserve the Beauty and Investment of Your Area Rugs
Maintaining the vibrant colors, luxurious textures, and functional benefits of your area rugs is easy with proper care and cleaning routines. By following these simple yet effective methods, you can ensure your area rugs stay beautiful, soft underfoot, and protected from everyday wear and tear for years to come.
Routine care &
maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Vacuum your area rugs regularly, at least once or twice a week, depending on foot traffic. Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove dust, dirt, and debris from the rug's surface and fibers. Pay close attention to areas that receive high traffic or where dirt tends to accumulate.
Rotate Your Rugs: Occasionally rotating your area rugs can help minimize uneven wear and tear. This is especially important for rugs placed in high-traffic areas.
Professional Cleaning: For a deeper clean, consider professional cleaning every 1-2 years, depending on the rug's material, traffic exposure, and your cleaning routine. Professional cleaning can help remove deep-seated dirt, revive the rug's colors, and extend its lifespan.

Dealing With AREA RUG
Spills & Stains
Spot Cleaning Spills Immediately: Act fast! For spills, blot up liquids immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the rug fibers. For stubborn stains, refer to the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer or consult a professional rug cleaner.
Consult Your Care Guide: For specific cleaning recommendations, always refer to the care guide provided by your rug manufacturer. This will ensure you use the appropriate cleaning methods to avoid voiding your warranty or damaging the fibers.
