How to Care for Your Area Rugs

Taking proper care of your area rugs is very straightforward and easy with a few maintenance tips. If you start some good care habits, you’ll find that your rug’s beauty stands up for many years to come.

Preventative Maintenance For Your Area Rugs

Regularly vacuum your area rug to remove all of the dirt, dust, and allergens from its fibers. We also recommend the occasional professional cleaning or shampooing. Don't dry clean rugs or use bleach on them!

Preventative maintenance will also keep your area rug looking its best. Remove your shoes before walking across your new area rug. You may also consider getting doormats to trap dirt in advance. Y

And remember, don't dry clean or use bleach on your area rugs.

Dealing with Spills & Stains

No matter how careful you are, your area rug will probably suffer stains or spills, especially if you have a busy household with kids and/or pets. Fortunately, many of our area rugs are sold with stain-resistant technology, which makes it easy to deal with stains!

Some stains will wipe away with a simple cloth while others will require a more comprehensive approach. Before cleaning up any mess on your area rug, establish whether it's an oil- or water-based stain. Then, consult your manufacturer's care guide for help.
