Rug Care and Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance preserves the beauty and extends the lifespan of your hand knotted investment, ensuring it remains a cherished centerpiece for generations.
Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum your rug weekly using a suction-only setting without the beater bar to remove dirt and prevent fiber damage.
Rotate Periodically: Rotate your rug every six months to ensure even wear distribution and prevent fading from sunlight exposure.
Address Spills Immediately: Blot spills promptly with a clean, white cloth, working from the outside inward to prevent staining and spreading.
Schedule Professional Cleaning: Arrange professional cleaning every 12-18 months to maintain fiber integrity and remove embedded dirt that household cleaning cannot address.
Use Quality Rug Pads: Place appropriate rug pads underneath to prevent slipping, protect flooring, and extend your rug’s longevity through cushioned support.
