Area Rug Care

Good morning! Let's dive into the world of area rug care and highlight some common mistakes to avoid. First up, dust and dirt. Just like any other surface, rugs accumulate dust and dirt, especially in high-traffic areas. Regular vacuuming is crucial to prevent dirt from settling deep into the rug's foundation. Neglecting this can lead to fiber damage, necessitating professional washing to thoroughly remove embedded dirt. Unlike surface cleaning with a regular carpet wand, professional washing targets the rug's foundation, preserving its integrity. Our top tip? Vacuum regularly and occasionally flip the rug to vacuum the back, where hidden dirt lurks. Depending on usage, aim for professional washing every 1-3 years. For instance, entrance or well used family room, dining room or living room rugs may require yearly cleaning due to heavy foot traffic. Speaking from almost two decades of experience, I've encountered firsthand the consequences of inadequate cleaning methods, like attempting to clean an entrance rug on-site with a carpet wand, only to turn it into a muddy mess. That's one of the many reasons why we opt for professional cleaning in our shop, ensuring thorough and safe results.
