Rug Washing

1. Regular Maintenance

To keep your rug looking its best, we recommend the following regular maintenance practices:

1. Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming is essential to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the rug’s surface. Use a vacuum cleaner with adjustable settings to avoid excessive suction, especially for delicate rugs.
2. Rotation: Rotate your rug periodically to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas.

2. Professional Rug Cleaning

While regular maintenance is important, professional cleaning is also necessary to maintain the beauty and longevity of your rug. We recommend the following:

1. Frequency: The frequency of professional cleaning depends on factors such as rug type, location, and usage. As a general guideline, professional cleaning is recommended every 12 to 18 months for most rugs.
2. Certified Professionals: Ensure that professional cleaning is performed by certified and experienced rug cleaners who understand the specific requirements of your rug type.
3. Specialized Cleaning: Different rug materials (e.g., wool, silk, jute) require specific cleaning methods and detergents. Professional cleaners should use appropriate techniques and products for your rug.
4. Inspection: Before cleaning, the rug should be thoroughly inspected for any damage or repair needs. Inform the cleaner of any specific concerns you may have.

3. Stain and Spill Management

In the event of spills or stains, prompt action can prevent permanent damage:

1. Blotting: Blot liquid spills with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
2. Professional Stain Removal: For stubborn or large stains, seek professional stain removal services rather than attempting to remove them yourself, which may worsen the situation.
3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach on your rug, as they can damage the fibers and colors.

5. Storage and Care

If you plan to store your rug for an extended period, consider the following:

1. Clean Before Storage: Ensure the rug is clean and dry before storing it to prevent mold or mildew growth.
2. Rolling: Roll the rug, rather than folding it, to prevent creases or damage to the fibers.
3. Ventilation: Store the rug in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

6. Warranty Considerations

Please refer to our Rug Warranty Policy for information on warranty coverage related to cleaning and maintenance.
