For proper care, please observe the following guidelines.

 

General Care:

1. We recommend using a rug pad to preserve the life of the rug.

2. Regularly brush off any loose dirt that may accumulate before it becomes embedded in the fibers.

3. Tend to spills immediately. The quicker you clean spills and stains, the easier they are to remove.

4. Use a vacuum or carpet sweeper on a regular basis. If your vacuum has a beater bar, it should be turned off or set to the highest setting to avoid agitating rug fibers.

5. For excessive dirt removal from foot traffic, rugs can be power-washed.



Spills:

1. When first tending to a spill, apply a light mist of mild soap and water using a spray bottle. Work the solution into the stain by lightly agitating the surface with a clean, soft towel or sponge. Avoid scrubbing, and do not use a hard bristled brush or anything else that could damage the rug.

2. Rinse the entire spot thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Repeat rinsing and blotting until all soap residue is removed.

3. Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge.

4. Air dry.


Tough Stains:

For do-it-yourself tough stain removal, the following steps are recommended:

1. Prepare a solution of 1 ounce of bleach and 1/4 ounce of mild soap per 16 ounces of water.

2. Spray on the entire area and allow it to soak into the rug for 15 minutes.

3. Blot entire surface area with a sponge or clean towel.

4. Rinse thoroughly with water only to remove all soap residue.

5. Air dry.


For Pet Owners:

1. Combine 1/4th cup of dishwashing liquid and 1⁄2 cup of white vinegar per 1 gallon water or use a commercial cleaner.

2. Spray on the entire area and allow it to soak into the rug for 15 minutes.

3. Blot entire surface area with a sponge or clean towel.

4. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all soap residue.

5. Air dry.
