Caring for Your Area Rugs
Simple Steps to Preserve Their Beauty and Extend Their Life
Maintaining the beauty and extending the life of your area rugs involves consistent, gentle care. Here are a few basic practices to keep them looking their best.
- Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum your area rugs regularly, using the appropriate setting for the rug's pile. For delicate rugs, use a suction-only setting.
- Rotate Your Rugs: Periodically rotate your rugs (every few months) to ensure even wear and prevent fading from direct sunlight in one area.
- Address Spills Immediately: Attend to spills immediately by carefully blotting liquids with a clean, white cloth from the outside edge inward. Avoid rubbing.
Taking proactive steps and addressing issues promptly will help your area rugs maintain their beauty and last longer.
- Use Rug Pads: Always use a rug pad underneath your area rugs. This prevents slipping, reduces wear on the rug fibers and the floor beneath, and can help with airflow.
- Professional Cleaning: Schedule professional rug cleaning every 1-3 years, depending on traffic and the rug's material. Professional cleaning can address deep-seated dirt and maintain the rug's integrity.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading and weaken rug fibers. Use curtains or blinds to protect your rugs.
