Rug Care Questions
Practical answers for living well with an heirloom-quality rug.
How often should I vacuum?
Vacuum lightly once a week or as needed. Skip the beater bar to avoid pulling delicate fibers.
Can I use a rug pad?
Yes. A quality pad adds cushioning, reduces slipping, and helps protect both the rug and the floor beneath it.
What should I do after a spill?
Blot immediately with a clean white cloth. Work from the outside inward and avoid rubbing the fibers.
Is shedding normal?
Some shedding can occur with wool rugs, especially early on. Gentle vacuuming will help manage loose fibers.
How do I prevent uneven fading?
Rotate your rug every few months, especially in rooms with strong sunlight or uneven foot traffic.
When should I seek professional cleaning?
Choose a specialist for set-in stains, odors, or a full refresh. Look for experience with handwoven and antique rugs.
