Area Rug Maintenance

Stylish area rugs help protect your hard surface floors but will also need proper care to look their best and last for as long as possible. Using area pads will help lessen the impact of daily wear-and-tear and using entry mats in the home will help catch abrasive particles before they reach your rugs. Also, only use rugs made specifically for bathrooms and kitchens to handle moisture and offer absorbency.

Daily Area Rug
Care & Maintenance

Just like with wall-to-wall carpeting, you want to remove dirt and dust from your area rugs to prevent abrasion and damage to the finish. Vacuum your rugs weekly and avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar to prevent snags or scratches on delicate rugs. If your rug construction does not allow you to vacuum, take your rug outdoors regularly and shake loose any dirt and dust.

Dealing With Area Rugs
Spills & Stains

Cleaning spills and stains on your area rug will depend on the specific fibers and constructions, and some rugs are even machine washable. Since many high-quality area rugs are an investment, we recommend that they are professionally cleaned on a 12-month, 16-month, or 24-month cleaning schedule. Professional cleaning will help remove stains or odors from your rug!
