Area Rug Care And Maintenance - Articles Surfing

Area rugs have many purposes in your home. They can be used to save your carpet wear, for safety to prevent slips or just for their beauty. If you have area rugs in your home you should be very interested in this article which will give you some tips on taking care of them.

One thing you can do to care for your rug is to place a quality rug pad underneath it. This will do several things for you. First off it will keep the rug from bleeding color onto your flooring underneath it. This is especially true on brightly colored rugs. It will also keep it in place so that it does not bunch up or slip causing a hazard and making it look bad. Finally a rug pad will provides some measure of cushion that will save wear and tear on the rug. Another thing you can do to protect your area rug is to vacuum it often. Frequent vacuuming removes dangerous and abrasive soil from the rug. This soil if left in place could wear down the fibers of the rug over time with foot traffic. Vacuum your rugs at least once a week but twice a week would be even better. If the rug is small enough and durable enough you might even want to take it outside and shake the soil out of it. The last care tip is to use a professional rug cleaner when the rug reaches an overall soiled condition. Most rugs, especially wool, silks and cottons, are sensitive and should not be cleaned by amateurs. Do not let your expensive rugs become overly soiled to the point where they can no longer be restored.

It does not take long to maintain your rug so there is no excuse not to. By following these simple tips you can have a rug that will last for years.
