Area Rugs -
Care and Maintenance
Vacuum regularly to prevent dirt and grit from sifting into the roots of the fibers, where
the harshest damage occurs.
- Avoid walking on the fringed area of the rug.
- Use top-quality padding to provide protection from dirt, wear
and slippage.
- Depending on the amount of traffic, an experienced
professional cleaning is recommended as needed.
1. Blot up excess liquid immediately with a towel. Do not rub.
2. If the liquid is water based, apply a mild, bleach-free
detergent (e.g. Woolite) diluted with water, using a clean dry cloth and working from the
edge of the spot to the center, to avoid spreading. Rinse with water mixed with a small
amount of white vinegar. Blot, then dry completely using a hair dryer at medium setting,
or by elevating the rug to allow air underneath.
3. For spills that are oil-based in nature, contact a
professional rug cleaner immediately.
1. Contact a professional rug repair service to repair the signs of aging and to avoid
further damage.
2. Ragged fringes or loose binding should be mended by a
professional service.
