How to care for your Oriental & Area Rugs

Rotation - To ensure even wear, your rug should be rotated once a year. Depending on traffic, the rotation may vary from six months to two years.
Vacuuming - Oriental and area rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure not to vacuum the fringe with your beater bar! Use the end of a vacuum hose.
Padding - A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear and slippage.

Be sure that you safely and immediately clean up spots and spills before they set.

First, soak up the excess liquid by blotting with a clean absorbent material. Do not brush or rub the stain.
Then, spot clean with a mild detergent-white vinegar-water solution. Do not over wet.
Rinse area thoroughly with water and a small amount of vinegar. Avoid wetting the rug's backing.
Blot dry until most of the moisture has been absorbed.
Allow to air dry. A fan or cool hair dryer can be used to speed up the drying process.
