Whether you have a Persian rug, oriental rug, wool rug, acrylic rug, cotton rug or silk rug, your area rugs need care in the time lapse between the professional cleans. Here are some valuable pointers on how to look after your are rug at home:

Consumer Rug Care

Vacuum the rug regularly to remove dirt and loose fibres. Sand and soil can cause the rug fiber to shred and break when walked on and this is a permanent damage. By regular vacuuming this will reduce wear and tracking on the rug. This is recommended at least once a week. If you have a fringe around the rug, be careful that it doesn’t get caught in the vacuum cleaner.

Ensure that spills are mopped up as soon as possible. Using a paper towel or a clean fabric towel, mop up as much as possible by blotting or dabbing – do not rub the stain as this will damage the texture of the fiber and cause fuzzing.

For protein stains such as vomit, urine and blood use a small amount of wool wash diluted in warm water. Using a clean (colourfast) sponge gentle dab the stain from the outside into the centre. Finish off with a clean sponge and 50:50 water and white vinegar, again dabbing not rubbing into the stain
