Rugs are an integral part of home decor, providing comfort, warmth, and style. However, daily use can take a toll on even the most durable rugs. At Persian Rug Gallery, we believe in preserving the beauty and longevity of your rugs with proper care. Here’s how to protect your rugs from everyday wear and tear.
1. Rotate Your Rugs Regularly
- Why: Rotating prevents uneven wear caused by foot traffic, furniture, and sunlight exposure.
- How Often: Every 3–6 months for high-traffic areas.
2. Use Rug Pads
- Why: Rug pads provide cushioning, prevent slipping, and reduce friction with the floor.
- Bonus: They also help maintain the rug’s shape and prevent curling edges.
3. Vacuum with Care
- Why: Regular vacuuming removes dirt and debris that can damage fibers.
- Tips: Use a vacuum with adjustable suction and avoid using beater bars on delicate rugs.
4. Clean Spills Immediately
- Why: Prompt cleaning prevents stains and odors from setting in.
- How: Blot (don’t rub) with a clean cloth and use a mild cleaning solution for tougher stains.
5. Protect from Sunlight
- Why: Prolonged sunlight exposure can fade colors and weaken fibers.
- Solution: Use curtains, blinds, or UV-blocking window films to shield rugs from direct sunlight.
6. Avoid High-Heels and Heavy Furniture
- Why: Sharp heels can puncture fibers, and heavy furniture can cause indentations.
- How: Use furniture coasters and avoid placing sharp objects directly on the rug.
7. Schedule Professional Cleaning
- Why: Professional cleaning removes deep-seated dirt and restores the rug’s vibrancy.
- When: Every 1–2 years, depending on usage.
8. Store Rugs Properly
- Why: Proper storage protects rugs from moisture, pests, and dust.
- How: Roll the rug (never fold), wrap it in breathable fabric, and store it in a dry, cool place.
