Using doormats to collect dirt and debris is a great preventative measure for any type of flooring, and especially area rugs.
Use furniture pads under tables and other furniture.
Limit exposure to the sun.
Vacuum frequently, but avoid the fringe. Also, be sure that your vacuum does not use a beater bar, as it can damage your rug.
No matter how much care you and your family take to protect your new area rugs – spills are inevitable. If you act fast, many do not have to be permanent.
| Food Spills | remove as much as possible with a spoon or knife. Treat the spot with manufacturer approved solutions. Be sure to allow plenty of time to dry before walking on your rug. |
| Wet Spills | Wet spills should be blotted (never scrubbed) with paper towels; try blotting from the outside working your way in, to avoid spreading the spill. After using detergent on your area rugs, follow up with water to rinse out any soapy residue from the cleaner. |
