Rug care and maintenance
Maintenance, cleaning, and placement tips. Keep your rugs looking perfect!
Rugs are much more than just a simple decorative accessory. They bring warmth, comfort, safety, and a special touch to any place. But to keep them looking like new, it's important to give them proper maintenance. In this guide, we'll tell you about some recommendations for caring for your rugs and the best cleaning and maintenance tricks. Don't miss it!
First day of your carpet at home
Unrolling
Unroll your rug and flatten it on a flat surface. Sometimes the ends remain a bit folded, but you can fold the corners in the opposite direction. Do this movement at least 3 times.
Adding Weight
You can also leave the rug completely flat and place a light object on the corners, such as a soda can or a small water bottle.
Give It a Few Days
Don't worry! It's normal for the edges to lift a little during the first week. But as the days pass, your rug will return to its natural shape and find its place.
Rug Maintenance
Vacuum Weekly
Vacuum your rug at least once a week, and even twice if you have pets.
Rotate the Rug
This way, you'll avoid uneven wear on your rugs.
Avoid the Sun
If your rug is not sun-resistant, do not place it in an area with direct sunlight.
Deep Cleaning Your Rugs
In addition to weekly vacuuming, we recommend that you deep clean your rugs every 6 months (or every 3 months if you have pets). You can even have a professional cleaning once a year to extend the life of your rug.
Never use products with bleach or ammonia. Instead, sprinkle baking soda, let it sit for 15 minutes, and vacuum. You can also mix vinegar with warm water and rub with a damp cloth.
