Care instructions vary for each different type of rug, but here are some general tips for flat weave, pile and natural fibre rugs.
- Your rug may arrive folded or rolled, and will take a short while to flatten out. Some rugs may also shed for a few weeks – this is normal and should ease up after vacuuming.
- Vacuum regularly to pick up small particles of dust and dirt.
- If your rug is in a sunny spot or receives a lot of foot traffic, rotate it regularly to ensure even wear.
- Treat spills or stains as soon as possible. Don’t rub! Blot the stain with a dry cloth or towel first to soak up excess moisture. When in doubt, call an expert.
- Rug underlays are a great way to keep a rug in place as well as preventing the rug from slipping. They will protect your floor from coarse natural fibres and make your rug feel even softer underfoot.
