Care & Maintenance

To minimize the wear and tear that your area rugs may encounter, proper maintenance is required. The single best way to prolong the life of your area rug is to purchase a non-slip rug pad. Not only will this minimize your risk of slipping, but it will also lessen the wear that doors or other moving surfaces may have on your area rug (no curling edges).

Regular vacuuming and rotating the rug is necessary to prevent uneven wear. If long carpet fibres are visible on the surface of your area rug, refrain from pulling them out. Instead, carefully clip the long ends even with the rug's surface. Periodically clean your area rugs with a steam cleaner.

To clean spills or spots, blot the designated area with a clean sponge or cloth. Refrain from rubbing the surface as it can cause the yarns to fray. Ask your Design Consultant to recommend a proper solvent to use to remove tough stains from your area rug.
