Together, these will all help keep your living room fresh and beautiful. For starters, vacuum your rug regularly. Hang it outside and use a rug beater to knock out soil that is embedded deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of wear and tear, rotate it regularly to minimize the impact of foot traffic. And finally, use a rug pad to help protect your rug and the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What about newer Persian or <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/oriental-rugs\" title=\"Oriental Rugs\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Oriental Rugs<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While similar, there are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/the-differences-between-oriental-and-persian-rugs\/\">differences<\/a>&nbsp;between a Persian and Oriental Rug. However, their maintenance and care will be relatively similar if they&#8217;re handmade. In both cases, you\u2019ll begin with some of our best practices: vacuum the rug regularly, soak up spills immediately, and rotate it based on foot traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To remove stains from the fabric, use a mild dish soap heavily diluted in a bucket of water. Get your rag wet, and then ring out the excess. Carefully scrub the rug\u2019s surface, then use a clean bucket of water and another washcloth to soak up the suds. Continue this bit by bit until the rug is clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/rugs\/categories\/persian-rugs\/pattern\/hunting-design\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rug-Source-Template-80-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rug-Source-Template-80-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rug-Source-Template-80-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rug-Source-Template-80-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rug-Source-Template-80-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rug-Source-Template-80.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Caring for Shag and Lighter-Hued Rugs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/how-to-safely-clean-a-shag-style-rug\/\">shag rug<\/a>? Cleaning it may be the simplest as you can sometimes throw it in the washing machine or wash it in your bathtub. For lighter soiling, you should vacuum it weekly while taking care of any spills immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also a few things to remember if your rug is lighter-hued. Whether beige,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/how-to-clean-a-pink-rug\/\">pink<\/a> or even white, starting small and working your way up is always a good idea. Like antique rug maintenance, spot clean first to ensure your process doesn\u2019t damage the fibers. Use a mild soap diluted in water, then soak up the extra and let it dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find the perfect living room rug at Rug Source!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some of our tips were category-specific, rug maintenance and care don\u2019t have to be a stressful process. If there were one word we want you to walk away with today, it would be patience. Don\u2019t rush the cleaning process, and take the time to address any issues immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, a little maintenance today will go a long way tomorrow.
