On this page we\u2019re going to go over five of our expert tips when it comes to extending the longevity of your area rugs, and as always feel free to reach out to us online<\/a> if you have any further rug maintenance and upkeep questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Frequently Vacuum!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vacuuming<\/a> frequently (at least once per week) is an important prerequisite when it comes to area rug maintenance, and this is mainly because dirt and dust will settle within your rug\u2019s fibers on a daily basis. Although vacuuming is essential, it\u2019s only going to be capable of removing about 80% of your rug\u2019s debris so it can\u2019t solve everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why it\u2019s always important to have your area rugs professionally cleaned on a regular basis as well, because removing deeply trapped debris goes a long way in terms of ensuring rug<\/a> longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no matter what type of rug you have, vacuuming on a weekly basis will always be very beneficial in terms of your overall maintenance routine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Properly Address Spills ASAP!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always important to make sure you\u2019re handling any spills on your area rugs<\/a> as quickly as possible, and this is because acting quickly and efficiently will help you avoid any stains from becoming permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means you should always have some non-toxic cleaning agents available within your home or office just in case the unexpected occurs, and this can include thick paper towels or any white absorbent materials. It\u2019s also important to note that you should always spread your cleaning solution on to your absorbent material as opposed to putting it directly on the rug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember always blot<\/em><\/strong>, don\u2019t scrub any stained areas, because scrubbing can actually create an adverse effect in terms of your rug\u2019s fibers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
