Other content (care instruction) KNOW YOUR RUG Area rugs can be made from a variety of yarns or a blend of yarns and materials. Read the label on your rug and follow any special cleaning instructions and precautions provided by the manufacturer of your rug. PROTECT FROM FURNITURE MARKS Use rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening of your rug pile. Rotating your rug every few months will help relieve areas from excessive wear.

Wool rugs, especially new wool rugs, may shed. To reduce excessive shedding, vacuum your rug 1-2 times per week in the direction of the pile. Shedding should diminish within several weeks. See the ‘Wool’ section of Specialty Care for more information. VACUUMING Routine vacuuming is the most important step in maintain- ing the life and beauty of your rug. It is recommended that you have area rugs professionally cleaned every 1-2 years to remove deep set dirt in high traffic areas.

Act quickly following a spill to keep a permanent stain from setting into your rug. LIQUID SPILLS Use a clean cloth and press firmly to absorb as much liquid as possible. Do not rub! This can set the stain deeper into the rug, making it harder to remove and increasing the chances that the stain will re-appear. STAINS Make a solution of water, white vinegar and mild detergent. Apply the foam that rises to the top of the solution on the stained area with a clean cloth.

VISCOSE RUGS Viscose, or art silk, has the same soft, luxurious look and feel as silk, but at a much more affordable price. A carpet sweeper is best for 100 percent viscose rugs, but if you do use a vacuum, set the power to low and disengage the beater bars. Viscose is extremely absorbent so remove stains using a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. For tough stains, use the stain solution suggested above and gently apply the foam that rises to the top to the stained area. Blot with a clean damp cloth to finish.

         Do not use alkaline laundry detergents. Normal wool wash will cause the leather backing to stiffen or even deteriorate. Keep out of the sunlight. UV rays will cause the wool to yellow. If you get a stain, dampen the area and cover it with cornstarch or potato starch. Once the area dries, shake the starch out of the fur. NATURAL FIBER RUGS Rugs made from natural fiber jute, sisal and seagrass have a wonderful woven texture that allows dirt to fall through.
