Area rugs should be spot cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and water or clean professionally.
Regular vacuuming helps rugs remain attractive and serviceable.
Shag rugs are best vacuumed through use of the attachments or a canister vacuum with no
beater bar. Vacuums with beater bars and brushes, or those that set too low, may abrade the
face of the rug and cause accidental damage.
Jute, Hemp, Coir, Sea Grass and Sisal are natural fiber rugs that have an inherent quality of
having loose fibers. If you see any loose threads on the face, trim with scissors. Pulling on loose
threads may cause unravelling and accidental damage to the rug.
All wool rugs shed. The amount of shedding should decrease over time.
General Rug Care Guidelines
Vacuuming: Vacuum your rug regularly to remove loose soil, taking special care when vacuuming fringe
and edges to avoid accidental fraying. When vacuuming a wool rug, set your vacuums beater bar to the
highest setting to prevent the cleaning brush from pulling and damaging the surface fibers of your rug.
Rotation: Rotating your rug often will allow the normal wear to be more evenly distributed. Regularly
rotating your rug will also help to minimize color changes that may occur from exposure to sunlight.
Rug Pad: Every rug needs a rug pad. Rug pads extend the life of your rug as the pad absorbs the traffic
wear and tear.
