Area Rugs and Accent Rugs without Latex Backing
Area rugs should be spot cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and water or clean professionally. Regular
vacuuming helps rugs remain attractive and serviceable.
 Shag rugs are best vacuumed through use of the attachments or a canister vacuum with no beater bar. Vacuums
with beater bars and brushes, or those that set too low, may abrade the face of the rug and cause accidental
damage.
 Jute, Hemp, Coir, Sea grass and Sisal are natural fiber rugs that have an inherent quality of having loose fibers. If
you see any loose threads on the face, trim with scissors, pulling on loose threads may cause unraveling and
accidental damage to the rug.
 All wool rugs shed. The amount of shedding should decrease over time.
General Rug Care Guidelines
 Vacuuming: Vacuum your rug regularly to remove loose soil, taking special care when vacuuming fringe and
edges to avoid accidental fraying. When vacuuming a wool rug set your vacuum’s beater bar to the highest setting
to prevent the cleaning brush from pulling and damaging the surface fibers of your rug.
 Rotation: Rotating your rug often will allow the normal wear to be more evenly distributed. Regularly rotating your
rug will also help to minimize color changes that may occur from exposure to direct sunlight.
 Rug Pad: Every rug needs a rug pad. Rug pads extend the life of your rug as the pad absorbs the traffic wear and
tear.
