An important thing to consider when choosing an area rug is the amount of upkeep and care required to keep it in the best possible condition over the years.
Hi, folks! It’s Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care.
Many factors come into play in determining how to best take care of your area, including its location in the home and the amount of traffic it will receive. But ultimately, you will find regular Prescott area rug cleaning services offer the best way to help your rug last for years.
Here are some care tips for diverse types of area rugs to help you determine which is best for your home:
Care For Synthetic Rugs
The materials for synthetic rugs can differ, so the durability and upkeep needed will change according to the synthetic fibers.
However, synthetic rugs can be cared for as described below.
- Vacuum once a week or more if your rug sees lots of traffic or is near food or animals.
- Blot spills to clean them up; and never rub.
- Spot-treat spills using a product your professional rug cleaner recommends.
- Every year for two years, call your Prescott area rug cleaning professional.
Care Of Wool Area Rugs
Rugs made of wool are more expensive but last longer. The wool's natural ability to repel liquids contributes to the rug's long-lasting nature.
The care of a wool rug differs from a synthetic one because you don't want to pull or harden the natural fibers.
- Twice a month, vacuum.
- Vacuum the rug's underside every two months to eliminate dirt and dust.
- Blot liquid spills with a clean cloth.
- Use a rug pad to keep your rug in tip-top condition.
- Wool rugs should be professionally cleaned every 1-2 years by rug cleaning pros such as Arizona Oriental.
Care For Plant-Based Rugs
Plant-based rugs are coarse and made from Jute, Sisal, Seagrass, or Hemp. Plant-based rugs require particular care as some can be vacuumed while others must be beaten.
Soak up excess liquid with a cloth and scrub the stain with soapy water, then rinse and dry with a clean towel.
These natural absorbent materials stain easily; chances are you'll need regular professional Prescott rug cleaning to help it last years.
