At Cottage Rugs & Living, we recommend regular care and maintenance to preserve the beauty, texture, and durability of your rugs and home décor products. Proper care will help extend the life of your purchase and maintain its original appearance for years to come.
Vacuum your rug regularly using low to medium suction to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid using harsh rotating brush attachments, especially on delicate or handmade rugs, as they may damage the fibers.
In case of spills, blot the affected area immediately using a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub the stain, as rubbing may spread the liquid deeper into the fibers. Mild soap and cold water may be used for gentle spot cleaning when necessary.
Keep rugs away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration over time. Rotating your rug occasionally can help ensure even wear and maintain its overall appearance.
For deep cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning services, especially for handmade, wool, silk, or delicate rugs. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or steam cleaning methods unless advised by a professional cleaner.
Use a rug pad underneath your rug to prevent slipping, provide additional cushioning, and protect both the rug and floor surface from wear and tear.
Proper storage is important when rugs are not in use. Roll the rug carefully and store it in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and pests.
