Area Rug Care & Maintenance
Even in an active home with teens, little kids, and playful pets, the right area rug care routine can help you maintain their pristine appearance.
Preventative Area Rug Care
To keep your area rugs plush, effective vacuuming is the key to regular care! Vacuuming with a suitable model will remove debris, dirt, and pet dander off of the rug surface before these particles can dull and wear down the appearance. To reduce the presence of abrasive particles, use mats at entranceways, remove footwear by the door during bad weather, and keep all pet nails trimmed.
Treating Spills On Area Rugs
There’s no need to stress over spills on your area rugs, but it is important to treat them as promptly as possible to prevent permanent stains. Start by gently lifting any solid material from the spill, then begin blotting the spill with a dry white cloth and warm water. Blot from the perimeter of the spill towards the center, then use a gentle carpet-specific cleaner to spot treat as needed. We recommend an annual professional cleaning as part of your long-term care.
