Daily rug care & maintenance
Establish a preventative maintenance routine for your area rugs will help preserve a stunning long-term appearance. For example, remove outdoor shoes before walking across your rugs so you don’t track dirt inside the house and use a good quality area rug pad for additional support.
Create a care and maintenance routine that also works with your current cleaning schedule. For your rugs, daily to weekly vacuuming with a manufacturer’s approved model will be the number one key to keep your rugs looking and performing exceptionally! If your area rugs cannot be vacuumed, take them outside regularly to shake loose as much as dirt, debris, and pet dander as possible.
Area Rug stain removal
No matter how hard you try to be careful, messes can occur on your rugs at any given time. For active homes, you can start your rug shopping by looking for pieces with stain-resistant technology built into the fibers.
When it comes to common household stains like spilled milk, pet accidents, or makeup stains, your first inclination may be to just jump right in and clean up the mess. Before you tackle cleaning any spills, stains, or soils on your new carpet, first establish whether it’s an oil-based stain or water-based stain, then consult your rug manufacturer's guidelines.
Gently lift any solid material with a spoon and paper towels, then begin blotting the liquid spill with a dry cloth and warm water. Start from the perimeter of the spill and work towards the center. Use a gentle carpet-specific cleaner to spot-treat as needed.
Professional rug cleaning
We also suggest periodic professional cleanings of your rugs throughout the year. Consider incorporating a deeper clean for your rugs in the spring to remove any wintery residue, or at the first signs of autumn to prepare your home for each new season.
Regardless of what kind of care and maintenance routine you establish for your rugs, make sure you’re following the recommendations of your rug manufacturer to ensure maximum effectiveness and a beautiful end result.
