Keep Your Rugs Looking Their Best

Rug Care Tips

  • Vacuum Regularly – Prevent dirt buildup by vacuuming your rugs at least once a week. Use a gentle setting for delicate rugs like silk or antique pieces. 

  •  Rotate Your Rug – Rotate your rug every 6–12 months to ensure even wear and prevent fading from prolonged sun exposure. 

  •  Use Rug Pads – Placing a rug pad underneath helps prevent slipping, adds cushioning, and reduces wear and tear on the fibers. 

  •  Blot Spills Immediately – Use a clean, dry cloth to blot (not rub) spills to prevent stains from setting. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water. 

  •  Avoid Direct Sunlight – Excessive sunlight can cause fading. If possible, position rugs away from direct sunlight or use curtains and blinds to reduce exposure. 

  •  Professional Cleaning – Have your rug professionally cleaned every 12–18 months to remove deep-seated dirt, allergens, and stains while preserving its quality. 

  •  Shake Out Loose Dirt – For smaller rugs, take them outside and give them a good shake to remove dust and debris. 

  •  Store Properly – If storing a rug, roll it (not fold) and keep it in a dry, cool place. Use a breathable cover to protect it from dust and pests. 

  •  Address Pet Odors & Hair – Use a pet-friendly vacuum attachment and baking soda to absorb odors before vacuuming. 

  •  Inspect for Damage – Regularly check for frayed edges, loose threads, or signs of moth damage. Prompt repairs can extend your rug’s lifespan.
