9 Ways for keeping your carpets & rugs looking great
1. Clean broadloom carpet in home about every 12-18 months. Sooner, if traffic and use increase.
2. Clean oriental & area rugs professionally every 2-4 years.
3. Vacuum carpet and rugs regularly to avoid dirt and grit build up. A beater bar is not generally recommended for oriental rugs.
4. Attend to spills immediately to avoid a permanent stain. Have a stain and spot kit ready.
5. Use a pad on area rugs to avoid slippage and wear.
6. Fix damage to rugs, to avoid an expensive repair later.
7. Rotate area rugs regularly to limit wear and traffic pattern marks. This also helps against moth damage in wool rugs.
8. Consider stain protection to limit the damage of spills and soiling, or a moth protection.
