Caring for Your Area Rug

With the right care, your new area rug will remain beautiful and perform like new for many years. By establishing a routine and addressing spills quickly, your rug will last for a long time. Learn more about how to care for your rug with our care and maintenance guide.

Preventative Maintenance

Start by investing in doormats and placing them at entryways to your home. Ask visitors to remove outdoor shoes upon entering your home. It’s important to minimize the amount of dirt tracked onto your flooring, as dirt particles can damage fibers. Here are some other simple preventative maintenance tips:

  • Place protectors underneath all furniture legs.
  • Take care when moving heavy furniture.
  • Keep pet nails trimmed to prevent snagging.

Daily care
While keeping preventative maintenance in mind, you should also develop a regular care routine. This should include regularly vacuuming, but how often depends on how much foot traffic your rug receives. You should also invest in a professional cleaning approximately once a year to remove buildup that breaks down fibers and lessens the life of your rug.

Dealing with spills & stains

No matter how careful you are, there is likely to be an occassional spill. It's important to address spills immediately to prevent staining. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth until you've removed all the liquid. If it's a solid spill, vacuum it immediately. If you have an area that persists, you can use a manufacturer-approved solution on the area.
