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. In addition to proper padding it is important to rotate your area rug periodically. Overtime, set traffic paths and/or sunlight patterns can cause fading or uneven wear to an area rug that is not occasionally rotated.
The lack of apparent soiling does not eliminate the need for regular cleaning. Soil can damage the fibers permanently if allowed to remain in the pile for long periods of time. Do not wait until your area rug is soiled, proper vacuuming is the easiest and most effective way to remove everyday dirt and dust. We recommend vacuuming area rugs once a month to keep soil from accumulating. Clean spills immediately by blotting with a cloth or sponge. Remove any grease spots with ordinary dry cleaning solvents.
