Area Rug Cleaning Tips

With every new season in Vancouver comes an opportunity to clean and freshen up your home, starting with your area rugs. Whether your area rug is a treasured Oriental rug heirloom, a featured accent of your home, or a purely functional piece to protect your hardwood floors, you should add it to your seasonal cleaning routine.

How to Take Care of Your Area Rugs

Besides weekly vacuuming, here are a few area rug cleaning tips to keep your rugs fresh and in good condition:

  1. Rotate your rug  monthly to prevent uneven wear
  2. Vacuum underneath the rug on a weekly basis
  3. Install a rug pad under your area rug to protect it from bottom wear and to extend its overall life
  4. Schedule aprofessional area rug cleaningservice every 6-12 months

Why Have Your Area Rugs Professionally Cleaned

  1. To remove dirt trapped deep within fibres that regular vacuuming cannot remove
  2. To remove carpet beetles and larvae feasting on your rug
  3. To clean area rugs that are too  large to fit in the washer
  4. To clean delicate or vintage area rugs not suited for machine washing
  5. To remove  stubborn, set-in stains
  6. To prevent shrinkage or damage from improper cleaning techniques
  7. To remove pet, cooking, and other odours
