Our easy-to-follow guide covers essential tips for everyday maintenance, preventative care, simple cleaning solutions, and effective stain removal methods. Discover how to keep your rug clean, fresh, and looking its best.
Care & maintenance
Rotate Regularly
Rotating your rug periodically helps reduce uneven wear from foot traffic and sun exposure. It's a simple step that ensures your rug stays looking great for longer.
Vacuum Often
Regular vacuuming is the key to maintaining your rug’s beauty. Vacuum your rug at least twice weekly, especially in high-traffic zones. Move slowly, making at least four passes over each area. To maintain strong suction, replace your vacuum's dust bag when it's about half full.
For best results:
- Suction-only canister vacuums are ideal, preventing fuzzing and pulls.
- If using a brush-equipped vacuum, adjust the brush height to the highest setting, minimizing contact with the rug's surface.
- Cut pile wool rugs: A dual-motor vacuum with rotating brushes is best.
- Loop pile wool rugs: Use a suction-only canister vacuum.
Professional Deep Cleaning
Occasionally, your rug may need a thorough deep cleaning. Trust a professional rug cleaner to restore your rug’s appearance effectively. Avoid silicone-based stain repellents, as these attract more dirt.
