Dust and dirt have no place in your home…and can be especially hard on your rugs. We suggest some simple ideas that include:
Use a high caliber vacuum at least once a week to prevent ground in dirt. Also, vacuuming the back of the rug with a vacuum that has a beater bar once a year will help knock dirt out.
Sweep nearby hard surface floors, which keeps dirt from seeping into a rug’s fibers.
We suggest for cleaning or spills, mishaps or stains to use a professional who hand-cleans. Machine cleaning can leave a soap residue in the rugs foundation that will diminish the lifespan of the rug.
You fill a home with love…and things you love. Treat your rugs with the utmost care to ensure their longevity and beauty.
