Vacuuming
Vacuuming rugs with a quality machine will go a long way towards prolonging the appearance and life of your rug, we recommend vacuuming at least twice a week to remove excess material that accumulates on the rug surface. Peeling of the rug is normal and no way shortens the life of your rug. It is merely the result of loose fibres created during the weaving process.
Steam cleaning
Steam cleaning is most effective when performed by a professional with all the appropriate equipment. Powder cleaners and deodorizers can cause peeling. If the area is heavily soiled, we recommend a different prcedure or using a professional services.

Stain removal methods
Stains must be treated immediately, when possible, scoop up solids and liquids as soon as spills occur. Absorb as much liquid as possible with a white cloth of paper towel without scrubbing in order to prevent matting or fizzing. Dry foam and absorbent pad is the most recommended method for treating stains in rugs, alternatively you can use a little bit of water to create a light detergent foam to scrub gently in the pile, then vacuum out when dry.
Rug Pads
Rug Pads can extend the life of your rug by providing a smooth supportive base in addition to preventing you from slipping and sliding on hard surfaces maintaining the placement of your rug. View our rug accessories for details on our rug pad products.
