Handmade rugs are a special and often valuable addition to your home, and proper care is essential to ensure that they remain in good condition for many years to come. Here are a few tips for caring for your handmade rug:
Rotate your rug regularly: To prevent uneven wear, it is a good idea to rotate your rug every few months. This will help to distribute the wear evenly and prevent certain areas from becoming too worn or faded.
Vacuum regularly: Regular vacuuming is important to remove dirt and debris that can build up over time. Be sure to use the proper attachment to avoid damaging the fibers of your rug.
Clean spills immediately: If you spill something on your rug, it is important to clean it up immediately to prevent stains. Blot the spill with a clean, absorbent cloth and follow up with a gentle cleaning solution if necessary.
Protect your rug from sunlight: Direct sunlight can fade and damage your rug, so it is important to keep your rug out of direct sunlight whenever possible. If you must place your rug in a sunny area, consider using window treatments to filter the sunlight.
Professional cleaning: Depending on the size and condition of your rug, it may be a good idea to have it professionally cleaned every few years. This can help to remove deep-seated dirt and stains and help to extend the life of your rug.
