Rug Care Tips
Azari Rug Gallery encourages our customers to learn as much as possible about the textiles
There are many easy tricks you can do to keep your rug in the best condition. They're listed
below in our Rug Care Guide.
Rotating Position
We recommend you rotate your rug every year to ensure even wear. Rugs in higher traffic areas
should be rotated even more frequently.
Vacuuming
Vacuuming is one of the best preventative measures for keeping your rug healthy and restoring life
to the natural fibers. Vacuum regularly but be careful not to vacuum the fringe. This isn't good
for the rug or the vacuum cleaner!
Stain Removal Procedure
Attack spills and stains immediately. For a solid spill, take a spoon and scoop up the residue carefully.
Then, dilute the spot with plenty of water. Blot from the end of the spill toward the center.
This prevents the stain from spreading or causing a ring. Do NOT rub the area. For old, dry or
stubborn stains repeat these steps as often as necessary.
Rug padding
Rug Padding is recommended for all rugs that receive any amount of foot traffic. Rug padding
provides a buffer to reduce impact and abrasion which is most problematic on hard floors such as
wood or tile. Rug padding also gives the benefit allowing the rug to "grip" the floor to hold the
rug in place, preventing unsightly buckles and accidental slipping while preserving the finish of
your floor. When placing a rug over wall-to-wall carpet, a rug pad will hold the rug firmly to the
carpet, thus reducing the rug's tendency to "creep" or "walk".
