AREA RUG CARE

GENERAL CARE

Regular vacuuming will help rugs retain their beauty and will extend the life of the rug.

You should clean spills immediately with the following method:

1. Blot with a clean cloth

2. Make sure the color dye is not bleeding before proceeding

3. Spot clean with a solution of clear dish washing detergent (non-bleach, non-petrol, non-oil) and water

4. Rinse with water

5. Blot dry.

Professional carpet cleaning is recommended using the hot water extraction method. You should not dry clean your rug and you should not use cleaners than contain bleach, petrol, or oil.

You should reverse and rotate the rug periodically to evenly distribute the traffic.

CHOOSE YOUR PROFESSIONAL CLEANER CAREFULLY

• Be sure your cleaner knows how to clean your particular type of rug. Cleaning a kelim, hand-knot, or braid is a lot different from cleaning wall-to-wall carpet!
• Inspect the rug with the cleaner. Note existing stains and damage before it is cleaned.
• Get a signed receipt for the work to be done and a guarantee, if possible, that it will be done.
• Make sure the cleaner can afford an insurance claim should something go wrong.
