Normal Rug Care Tips

Rugs needs constant care like wall-to-wall rug and, in some cases, need special care.

1. Washing Rugs— if your rug is tiny and rug label says “machine washable,” shake the floor covering outside first, then place it within the washer at the suggested temperature. Use heat water (90 to100 degrees) and use a light detergent. Tumble your rug dry at rock bottom heat setting.
2. Beating larger rugs — if your larger rug is easy to pick up, shake it outside first; then place it over a railing and beat it. Next, take the floor covering inside and vacuum it. Several rug cleaning professionals have rug cleaning experience still, but, if the label says dry clean only, your best option is to give it to the dry cleaner.
3. Vacuuming rugs — Rugs with fringe need special treatment. Use easy suction and begin from the middle of the rug, vacuuming toward the fringes.   Carry the rug edge to vacuum to a lower side of fringe.
4. Caring for Oriental, Turkish or Persian rugs — you should clean the expensive rugs according to rug manufacturer guidelines or you can call rug cleaning expert. Be alert with fringe for heirloom-type rugs, for them you should call rug cleaning professionals.
