Daily Area Rugs Care

Even if you don’t have a lot of spare time, you can easily incorporate these simple tasks into your regular cleaning routine to help your rug retain its beauty over the long term! Start by investing in doormats and placing them throughout your home. Have friends and family members use them when entering your home. You should also ask visitors to remove outdoor shoes before walking across your rug. It’s important to minimize the amount of dirt tracked onto your flooring, as dirt particles can damage rug and carpet fibers. Here are some other simple preventative maintenance tips:

  • Place carpet protectors underneath all furniture legs
  • Move or rotate rugs occasionally to reduce exposure to direct UV sunlight
  • Take care when moving heavy furniture

Area Rugs Cleaning Tips

Expand the sections below to read more about how to care for your area rugs

While keeping preventative maintenance in mind, you should also develop a regular care routine. This should include regularly vacuuming your area rug using a manufacturer-approved appliance. If your area rug experiences light to medium traffic, vacuuming it once or twice a week should be sufficient. If it experiences heavy traffic, however, you may want to vacuum more frequently.

It's not a bad idea to give your area rugs the occasional deep clean, especially if they are in high-traffic areas. Contact a professional cleaning service or shampoo your rugs yourself. If you do shampoo them yourself, be sure to follow your manufacturer's recommendations for maximum effectiveness. Consider a deep clean once or twice a year.

If you spill on your area rugs, don't panic! Many of today's modern rugs have built-in technology that helps them resist stains. There are also manufacturer-approved carpet cleaners that can help. Blot up the spill as best as you can and consider using one of them.
