Caring for a rug doesn’t have to be complicated. With simple, consistent habits, your rug will look and feel beautiful for years.
1. Vacuum Gently and Regularly
Use a suction-only vacuum, especially for hand-knotted and silk-blend rugs. Avoid rotating brush heads—they can damage delicate fibres.
2. Rotate Your Rug Every Few Months
This prevents uneven fading and wear. Sunlight and foot traffic affect different parts of the rug, so rotation keeps it looking fresh.
3. Treat Spills Immediately
Blot—not rub—with a clean cloth. Rubbing pushes stains deeper into the fibres. For stubborn stains, seek professional cleaning support.
4. Use a Rug Pad
A rug pad adds extra cushioning, prevents slipping, and reduces fibre stress. It also protects your floor from scratches.
5. Professional Cleaning Is Essential
Get your rug professionally cleaned every 12–18 months. This keeps colours vibrant and maintains the softness of wool or bamboo silk.
