FAQs: RUG CARE & MAINTENANCE

How do I maintain the quality of my rug?

To maintain your rug, vacuum regularly (without a beater bar), rotate it every 3–6 months, protect it from prolonged sunlight exposure and address spills immediately by blotting gently. For deep cleaning, professional services are recommended.

Can I vacuum my rug?

Yes, you can vacuum your rug. Use a vacuum without a beater bar or raise the bar to its highest setting to avoid pulling fibers from the rug.

How can I prevent uneven wear on my rug?

Rotate your rug every 3–6 months to evenly distribute foot traffic and prevent uneven wear.

What should I do if my rug gets stained?

Blot spills immediately with a clean, white cloth and never rub. For general stains, use a mixture of room-temperature water, mild detergent and white vinegar. Apply the foam to the stain, let it sit for 20 minutes and then blot with a wet cloth.

How do I remove pet stains from my rug?

Absorb as much of the stain as possible with paper towels, then cover the area with baking soda for 10 minutes. Apply a pet stain remover as per the product's instructions, scrub lightly, let sit for 10–20 minutes and vacuum the residue.

What can I do about creases or curled corners on a new rug?

Creases and curled corners usually flatten within 2 - 3 weeks. To speed up the process:

  • Roll the rug in reverse and leave it for 1 - 2 days.
  • Place heavy objects on curled corners or creases.
  • Lay the rug outside in sunlight for up to 2 hours.
  • Use a blow dryer on medium heat (7 - 12 inches away) to gently flatten creases.
