Vacuuming:
A chore that should be exclusive to Cinderella. However, if you Vacuuming your rug every other week with a good suction Vacuum cleaner it will prevent dirt and grit filtering into the pile where it can damage the fibre and increase the wear and tear look and feel. However, if your rug has a fringe, avoid hoovering the fringe as this can cause the fringe to pull and unravel.
If you’ve opted for a pure wool rug, expect some natural shedding, however long. Stray fibres should be cut even with the rugs surface, never pull a stray thread.
Give your rug a change of direction, rotate your rug weekly, so that it’s not affected by direct sunlight and receives the same amount of wear and tear evenly.
Never beat your rug, this can cause damage to the backing and loosen threads.
Spills:
Ooops! It’s going to happen, at some point wine, tea or juice will be spilt on your rug centerpiece. After you’ve cursed yourself (or others!), act quickly. Grab a clean white cloth or paper towel and dab the spilt liquid. Do not rub, this will cause the spillage to spread. Dab with carpet cleaner until the stain has been removed, pat excess moisture with a paper towel and allow to dry. On stubborn stains, particularly dark stains on a light coloured rug, the cleaning process will need to be repeated.
Never use a spot cleaner on a wool rug, this will ‘set’ the stain, making it impossible to remove.
