Professional Rug Cleaning Available at Rugs Plus
(recommended every 1 to 2 years)
Care and Maintenance
- Rug pads are recommended for use with all rugs to help extend the rug’s life and protect the surface underneath.
- Pile shedding is a normal characteristic of quality area rugs, particularly with wool and other natural fibers.
Vacuuming
Regular and thorough vacuuming, at least once a week, more often in high traffic areas, will remove soil and dirt particles before they become embedded in the pile of the rug.
