From full service to DIY the goal is a great environment to live in!
- Your rugs will be less susceptible to damage if they are used rather than stored.
- Vacuuming is better for all carpet and rugs than cleaning. But avoid vacuuming the fringe!
- Vacuum regularly so the dirt doesn’t cut the fibers of the rug.
- Blot up any unwanted spills and then dilute with water and continue extracting the water.
- Every five years (or whenever it looks dirty) the rug should be hand washed with cold water and mild detergent by a professional.
- If the rugs are small or the value has diminished, you can to wash them yourself to control costs. Arizona has the perfect drying weather.
- If the rugs need repair, reputable rug dealers can connect the proper artisans for your repair.
- If you do buy an inexpensive rug and the fringe is too white, you can tea stain the fringe to blend in.
- Rotate rugs for better wear.
