Routine Area Rug Care

Regular vacuuming is the number one key to your successful routine area rug care. Use a vacuum model that suits your specific rug construction, and vacuum as frequently as you can on a weekly basis. This will remove harmful dirt, dust, debris, and pet dander particles before they become abrasive and wear down your rug’s plush appearance. If your rug construction can't be vacuumed, take your rug outside regularly and shake loose as many particles as you can.  

Area Rug Pads

By using area rug pads, you will both enhance the performance of your rugs and help preserve their attractive appearance. Area rug pads will cushion daily foot traffic and reduce the impact on your rugs. Over time, area rug pads will also help your favorite pieces wear more evenly across the rug surface. We can help you find an appropriate rug pad to suit every rug size and room conditions.

Enjoying Your New Area Rugs

We always recommend a number of preventative steps to enjoy your new area rugs. Arm all entranceways with mats and encourage guests to scrape footwear before entering the home. Have guests remove footwear by the door during inclement weather. Also, make sure to keep all pets brushed regularly and nails trimmed to prevent snags to your rugs.
