TIPS ON CARING FOR YOUR MODERN RUG

 Taking care of a modern rug at home involves a combination of regular cleaning, preventive measures, and addressing stains promptly.

Giving some tips here to keep your modern rug in top-notch condition:

Vacuuming: Vacuum your modern rug regularly to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with suction and opt for one that with an adjustable bar if possible. Vacuuming both sides of the rug is a wise idea to ensure embedded dirt and soil is removed. Be very careful when vacuuming fringes and edges, we cannot stress this one enough!

Rotate the rug: Rotate your rug periodically to ensure even wear and fading. This is especially important in high-traffic areas.

Use a rug pad: Place a rug pad underneath your modern rug to provide cushioning, prevent slipping, and protect the rug's fibers from excessive wear. Rug pads also help to promote air circulation, which prevents moisture buildup.

Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. If possible, position your rug away from windows or use curtains or blinds to filter sunlight.

Clean any spills instantly: Address spills and stains promptly to prevent them from setting. Blot the stain gently with a clean, white absorbent cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. Instead, blot liquids and depending on the material, use either a mild detergent, club soda, vinegar, or a specialized rug cleaner diluted in water to clean the affected area. This is general advice and not meant to address any specific situation. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions and/or the advice of a professional Oriental rug cleaning provider. DO NOT use any oxidized cleaners, commercial stain removers, bleach, or any commercial-grade cleaning products on handmade rugs. Effects of the damage is often worsened by products like these because they are not intended for wool or silk carpets. We cannot emphasize this enough!

Periodic professional cleaning: Depending on the amount of foot traffic and use, consider getting your modern rug professionally cleaned once or twice a year. Professional cleaners have the expertise and equipment to deep clean and restore your rug's vibrancy.

Pet Care: If you have pets, trim their nails regularly to prevent them from snagging or damaging the rug. Vacuum the rug to avoid embedding of pet hair. Lastly and most importantly, make sure pets are properly potty trained to avoid soiling the rug or using it as an indoor territory marking spot.
