Guide to Rug Maintenance and Care

We value your rug as highly as you do, and we have developed this guide to help you preserve its appearance and quality over time. Within, you will find recommendations for maintaining and enhancing the condition of your rug.

It is essential to recognize that certain features that may initially appear as imperfections are typical characteristics of new rugs.

1-     Crease, Ripples, and Curls:

Upon receiving your new rug, please note that minor wrinkles or creases may be present due to the shipping process. To achieve a smooth and refined appearance, place the rug face down for several days; it will gradually flatten and regain its intended look.

2-     New rug odor:

New rugs may exhibit a temporary odor resulting from dyes or packaging materials, particularly if stored in plastic for a prolonged period. This scent will dissipate promptly in a well-ventilated environment, allowing you to appreciate your new home furnishings fully.

3-     Spot/Spills cleaning:

It is advisable to clean up spills as soon as possible, since stains that have been set in the rug are more challenging to remove. Rubbing a spill may cause it to become more deeply embedded in the rug; instead, blotting gently with a clean cloth is recommended. Lukewarm water can help remove residual stains. Clean water should be used to rinse away any remaining detergent, and a clean, dry towel can help absorb excess moisture.

4-     Stains:

Combine a mild detergent or carpet cleaner with water. Use a sponge or cloth soaked with the solution to gently and thoroughly wipe the stain. Rinse the sponge or cloth before repeating the process until the stain is removed. For persistent stains, do not rinse the rug immediately; allow it to sit with the cleaning mixture for several minutes. When the rug appears clean, rinse it thoroughly with water. Dry the rug by laying it flat on a flat surface.

5-     Vacuuming:

Regular vacuuming of your rug at low to medium power helps maintain cleanliness by removing dust, lint, and hair. Whether you prefer a robot vacuum or a traditional one, both are excellent choices for maintaining your rug. It is advisable not to repeatedly run the vacuum over the edges, as this may loosen fibers and lead to edge deterioration.

6-     Machine washable rugs:

For our machine-washable rugs, we advise using the delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. After washing, please air dry to maintain quality. Please visit the product page on our website for more details about each machine-washable rug.

Conclusion: Rug Care and Maintenance:

To keep your rug in pristine condition, it’s important to promptly address spills, spots, and stains by following the recommended care instructions. This proactive approach helps maintain the rug’s appearance and extends its lifespan. Additionally, it is advisable to have your rug professionally cleaned every two to three years.
