Rug Care Guide 

To care for your rugs properly, regular vacuuming is crucial, and prompt stain removal is important to prevent permanent damage. Protecting your rug with an underlay and rotating it periodically will help with wear and tear. 

Here's a more detailed guide:

1. Regular Cleaning:

• Vacuuming: Vacuum your rug at least once a week, especially in high-traffic areas, to remove dirt and dust. Use a low suction setting and avoid beater bars, as they can damage the pile. 
• Rotate: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to distribute wear evenly. 
• Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning every 2-4 years to remove deeper dirt and maintain your rug's appearance. 

2. Stain Removal:

• Blot, Don't Rub: Immediately blot spills with a clean, white cloth or paper towels. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain and damage the fibers. 
• Spot Clean: For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent or a rug-specific cleaner. Always test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area first. 
• Seek Professional Help: If you can't remove a stain, consult a professional rug cleaner. 

3. Protection and Maintenance:

• Underlay:

  Use a rug underlay to prevent slippage and protect the floor, especially in high-traffic areas. 

• Furniture Pads:

  Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent indentations. 

• Avoid Direct Sunlight:

  Protect your rug from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. 

• Avoid Aggressive Cleaning:

  Refrain from using harsh chemicals or vigorous scrubbing, as this can damage the fibers. 

4. Storage:

• Store Properly: If you need to store your rug, do so in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Avoid Plastic: Avoid storing rugs in plastic for extended periods, as it can cause condensation and mold.
