Vacuuming

Canister vacuums without beater bars are the optimal type of vacuum to use on rugsBrooms and manual sweepers are also a gentle and effective way to clean rugsIf you must use an upright vacuum, use the handheld attachment whenever possibleRefrain from running the vacuum over the edges of the rug or the rugs.Instead, use the handheld attachment or carefully place the vacuum on the rugIf a rug is reversible remember to vacuum both sides.For hand woven rugs, use extra caution when vacuuming as the suction can pull the weave, alternatively, you can take the rug outside to shake it out

While natural light can enhance the colors of your rug, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and degradation of fibers. Use curtains or blinds to block the sun during peak hours, or consider placing your rug in an area with more indirect light.By taking these simple steps, you can protect your rugs from UV damage, ensuring they remain vibrant and beautiful for many years

Rotate

It is highly recommended to rotate your rug 180 degrees every 3-6 months to balance appearance, fading and to distribute wear evenly and protect from Direct Sunlight
