Info & Tips
- Vacuum your home regularly, particularly in high-traffic areas such as hallways, the living room and kitchen areas. This will keep dirt and grime to a minimum.
- Have your rug cleaned professionally on a regular basis – it’s the best way to eradicate built-up dirt and grime trapped deep inside its fibers.
- If you have pets, they will be shedding fur on your carpets and rugs, so bathe them regularly to keep them clean.
- Place doormats in your entrance and hallway, to collect soil.
- If you spill something on your rug, act immediately! Use paper towels to mop up as much of the liquid as you can. If you see a stain appear, do not rub at it – this will only worsen the situation. Instead, dab at it and then blot it lightly.
- When cleaning your carpet or rug yourself, always make sure to use environmentally-friendly, organic products. They help protect the planet, and also keep you, your children and your pets safe.
- Clean the fringe of your rug by hand, brushing the fringe in its natural direction to avoid tearing it.
- If you see a tear or hole in your rug, call a professional immediately! The longer you delay, the worse the problem is going to become.
- When cleaning a rug at home, spot test it first. Dab a tiny amount of the cleaning solution onto an inconspicuous part of the rug. After half an hour, if the colors have not bled, you can proceed.
- Keep your rug out of direct sunlight - this is guaranteed to make it fade very quickly.
