An area rug is one of the nicest decorative features you can add to your home.

Key Tips for Taking Care of Your Area Rugs

Because of the delicate fabrics used to create decorative area rugs, they require a different level of attention than other floor coverings. Applying the same cleaning approach as you would use on regular carpeting could easily damage the rug’s intricate threadwork or cause the bright colors to fade. To preserve, protect and extend the life of your area rugs, here are some care and cleaning suggestions: 

• Area rugs should be professionally cleaned every two years.
• Rugs in high-traffic areas may require cleaning more frequently.
• Vacuum on a regular basis to avoid accumulating debris, which abrades fibers and wears out the rug.
• Protect your area rugs with a good stain-resistant product sold.
• Address accidents and stains immediately by calling a trained professional.
• Avoid over-the-counter cleaning and spot treatment products, which may be too harsh and cause permanent damage.
• Use padding to protect the rug from wear-and-tear issues and provide skid resistance. Pads also add comfort and absorb noise.
• Avoid direct sunlight on rugs to avoid uneven fading.
