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.
