Area Rug Care Tips:
Here are some great tips that will help you keep them looking as nice as possible between cleanings:
Rotate them: You want your woven rugs to wear evenly rotate them about every six months in high traffic areas. Some people can do it only once a year if it doesn’t get stepped on frequently.
Vacuum them: Too many people assume that woven carpets are to sensitive for the vacuum cleaner but they aren’t. This will help to keep them clean and it also helps to keep the fibers looking alive. If you have fringed edges then use the hose part so that the beater bar doesn’t suck that area up and ruin it.
Padding: It is a good idea to add a piece of good quality padding under it. This will also prevent people from slipping as they step onto it.
Clean up: Should there be anything spilled on your oriental rugs you want to clean it up as soon as you can. Here is the process that you will want to follow: Blot the liquid to absorb as much of it as you can. Avoid rubbing the area as that can lead to staining. Use a damp clean white towel to blot the area and try to get the spot or spill to transfer. Only add enough moisture to take care of the problem as you don’t want to get these types of rugs too wet. Continue to blot it until you get as much of that moisture out as possible. You want to dry it quickly so try to place a fan over it.
