AREA RUG CARE AND
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
The Couristan area rug you have purchased rep-
resents a significant 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 maintenance 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 fit any
area rug rectangle size or special shape. Using padding
of a lower standard or insufficient 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 traffic 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 fibers 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.
