Care & Cleaning

How do I best care for and maintain my new rug purchase? 

To keep your rug looking fresh and clean, it’s important to vacuum it regularly. However, turn off the vacuum’s beater bar or raise the bar to the highest setting to avoid damaging the pile. You should also spot-clean any spills or stains as soon as possible. Food and drink stains can usually be cleaned with a mild detergent and cold water. Do not agitate/scrub or rub the pile surface. Blot spills gently with a clean undyed cloth. Professional rug cleaning is recommended for hard-to-remove stains.

How do I store my rug when not in use?

If you need to store your rug for an extended period, you should make sure it is clean and dry before rolling it up. You should also wrap it in a breathable material such as cotton or canvas and avoid using plastic bags or sheets that can trap moisture and cause mold or mildew. Store your rug in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Check on your rug periodically and unroll it every few months to prevent creases or damage.

How do I fix the pulled thread in my rug?
