Keep your rug looking, feeling, and smelling its best with these easy tips.

1. Vacuum regularly

Vacuum once or twice a week to clean away trapped dust, dirt and allergens and keep the rug fibres pliable.

2. Deep clean

To sanitize, remove embedded dirt and boost freshness, steam clean your carpets once every 12 to 18 months. (Consult a pro before tackling delicate fabrics.)

3. Trim snags

If a fibre snags, always snip it with scissors. While it can be tempting, pulling it out by hand can do more damage.

4. Treat Stains Quickly

Stain-resistant doesn’t mean stain-proof. Act fast to treat spills and slops in order to prevent stains from setting in.

5. Turn & rotate 

To ensure even wear, rotate your rugs every few months.

6. Air & ventilate 

Hanging a rug outside in the fresh air can help neutralize odours and dry out lingering dampness from wet shoes, spills and pets.
