How to Care for Your Rugs - Ruggy

Rugs are not just decorative additions to your home; they are investments that can last for years with proper care and maintenance. Ruggy understands the importance of keeping your rugs in excellent condition.

We're here to provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to care for your rugs to ensure their longevity. Additionally, we'll highlight some specific Ruggy products that make maintenance a breeze.

1. Regular Vacuuming

One of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain your rugs is by regularly vacuuming them. This helps remove dust, dirt, and debris that can become embedded in the fibers over time. When using a vacuum cleaner, make sure it's suitable for the rug type (low pile, high pile, etc.) to avoid causing damage.

Recommendatiton: We suggest you to use a powerful vacuum machine. Some versatile vacuum cleaner designed specifically for different rug types, ensures thorough cleaning without harming the fibers.

2. Rotate Your Rugs

To prevent uneven wear, rotate your rugs periodically. This is especially important for rugs in high-traffic areas. Rotating the rug every 6-12 months can help distribute foot traffic and sunlight exposure evenly.

3. Address Stains Promptly

Accidents happen, and when they do, it's crucial to address stains promptly. Blot spills immediately with a clean, white cloth or paper towel to prevent them from setting. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the rug fibers.

 

4. Professional Cleaning

While regular maintenance can keep your rugs looking their best, professional cleaning is essential for deep cleaning and removing embedded dirt. Consider having your rugs professionally cleaned every 1-2 years, depending on usage and foot traffic.

5. Protect Your Rugs from Sunlight

Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. To protect your rugs from UV damage, consider using window coverings, such as blinds or curtains, or rotating your rugs regularly to even out sun exposure.

6. Use Rug Pads

Rug pads are an often-overlooked accessory that can significantly extend the life of your rugs. They provide cushioning, prevent slipping, and help protect your floors and rugs from abrasion.

Recommendatiton: Our Premium felt rug pad is designed to provide a non-slip surface, extend rug life, and enhance comfort underfoot.
