Furniture Care: Rugs
Posted On August 17, 2011
Tip #2: Vacuum your rug regularly. Shedding is normal and to be expected, especially on a new rug. During this time period additional vacuuming may be needed. Avoid vacuuming fringe if you have any. If you have a hooked rug, just be careful not to use a beater bar.
Tip #3: Keep your rug out of direct sunlight to prevent fading with dyed fibers and darkening in undyed fibers. Sheer window treatments are a great way to deflect direct sunlight. However, if your rug is exposed to sunlight, it is best to rotate it 180 degrees at least once a year to insure even fading as well as wear.
Tip #4: Clean spills immediately by blotting with a white absorbent cloth and soda water. Do not rub. Have your rug professionally cleaned periodically for best results. And always remember to follow your rug manufacturer’s specific maintenance recommendations for the best customized care.
