• Area rug and rug pad tips Cleaning area rugs Don't be alarmed! Most area rugs can be spot cleaned fairly easily. For most spills, first try to blot out the spot with a damp sponge. If this does not work, on all fibers except for silk, try adding a little mild liquid detergent to some lukewarm water and scrub the area with a soft scrub brush. This should do the job. On even more stubborn stains, please refer to our spot cleaning guide. Rotation It is a great idea, whenever possible, to rotate your area and oriental rugs and rug pads at least once a year. Like everything else, rugs and rug pads can wear due to traffic and the more even the wear, the longer your area rug and rug pad will last. This holds true to fading as well. Rotating your area rug once a year will prevent any obvious or prolonged wear pattern or fading spots. We love our animals but..... One of the few stains that may not come out perfectly is animal stain. Please try to avoid animal accidents on area rugs and in the event that something does happen, make sure to get to it right away. Once animal stains dry in most fibers, it is almost impossible to remove the stain, not to mention the odor left behind. Animal hair is not harmful to area rugs and can be easily vacuumed off as often as you would like.
