MAINTENANCE TIPS
Your new area rug can give you years of service, especially if it is properly maintained. A few tips for the care of your rug are:
A weekly vacuuming (or more often, if the rugs are in a high traffic area) will extend the life of your area rugs. A thorough vacuuming prevents dirt and soil from becoming embedded into the rug's fibers, and helps keep the nap of the rug fresh-looking. The traditional practice of shaking small area rugs is not recommended. The stress of flapping the rug by hand to loosen dirt and dust will stress the fibers of the rug, and accelerate its wear. When vacuuming those rugs that have fringed edges, avoid the fringe while doing the body of the rug. Then set your vacuum on the rug, and pull it towards you over the fringe. This should avoid any tangles or damage to the fringed border, and keep those fibers dust free as well.
Should a stain or spill occur, warm water and a mild soap may be all that is needed for the clean-up. Even with good weekly vacuuming, rugs will collect some dust and dirt over time, so a professional cleaning should be done at least every two years.
Following these guidelines will protect the appearance of your rugs and increase their longevity by years. |
