AREA RUG CARE AND
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
The Couristan area rug you have purchased represents a
signicant investment and, like all quality home furnishings,
proper care is required to maintain its beauty. With the
correct care and maintenance you will extend the life
of your area rug and assure many years of comfort and
satisfaction. We recommend that you follow this mainte-
nance guideline section to protect your area rug.
When placing your Couristan area rug on hard surface
flooring such as hardwood, ceramic, tiles, parquet, and
resilient vinyl, or on soft surface flooring, such as carpeting,
we recommend that you purchase a pad to put beneath
your area rug. This will keep your area rug from sliding,
which can cause premature wear and potential risk of
injury. Couristan’s Eco Stay™ and Eco Grip™ non-slip area
rug pads are constructed of natural soy bean oil and
polyester textile coated with polymer. These hand-washable
pads keep your area rug in its place, protect your floor,
help your area rug last longer and make vacuuming easier.
Eco Stay™ and Eco Grip™ pads can be cut to t any area
rug rectangle size or special shape. Using padding of
a lower standard or insufcient density will cause
your area rug to wear prematurely and could void our
limited warranty.
In addition to proper padding it is important to rotate
your area rug periodically. Over time, set trafc paths in
your home and/or sunlight patterns can cause fading or
uneven wear to an area rug that is not occasionally rotated.
Area rug bers are designed to hide soil and reflect light.
Consequently, soil in an area rug is not as visible as it is
on smooth flooring where soil remains on the surface
and is easily seen. The lack of apparent soiling does not
eliminate the need for regular cleaning. Soil can damage
the bers permanently if allowed to remain in the pile. Do
not wait until your area rug is soiled, proper vacuuming is
