Caring For Your Rug
Vacuum Regularly
Regular light vacuuming is recommended with your vacuum on the lowest setting (without bristles or combs) A good quality vacuum cleaner is recommended to remove dust and dirt from a shag pile or high pile rug. We suggest avoiding powerful vacuums or power heads as stiff bristles and strong suction can damage the pile. For everyday cleaning, a simple shake outside will remove excess dust, dirt and fluff.
Clean Spills & Spot Immediately
The prompt removal of stains/soil marks is necessary to maintain your rugs appearance. If stains are not dealt with immediately they may become permanent and even a professional cleaner may be unable to help. Spills should be cleaned immediately. Never rub a spill, instead blot any liquids with a dry absorbent white cloth or white paper towel. Some stains may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. If the stain cannot be removed, like a paint, nail polish, shoe polish, seek specialist advice. Do not machine wash rugs.

Rotating your Rug
Try to rotate your rug every 6-12 months to ensure even wear.
