Basic rug maintenance

Vacuuming regularly

Use a suitable vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle.
Vacuum in the direction of the pile of the rug to avoid damaging fibers.
Regular vacuuming prevents buildup of dust and dirt.

Rotate regularly

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
Rotate the rug periodically to promote even wear.
Check if your carpet is washable, this option can also be considered to refresh your carpet.

Tapping, dusting & airing

Remove coarse dirt by vacuuming first.
Take your rug outside and gently pat it to remove dust and dirt.
Lightly shake out the rug and let it air in fresh air for a few hours.

Cleaning your rug

In some cases, you can remove stains or freshen up your rug yourself. For deep cleaning and stain removal, consider professional help. Cleaning a high-pile rug is how you do it:

Use a soft brush/ vacuum cleaner to gently remove dirt and dust from the fibers.
Clean with a carpet cleaner suitable for high-pile rugs.
Let your carpet dry thoroughly before putting it back.

Additional advice

Synthetic materials
Synthetic rugs are usually durable and easy to maintain. If a stain occurs, act quickly. Dab the stain gently with a clean cloth and, if necessary, use a mild detergent specifically for rugs.

Natural materials
Natural rugs such as wool or cotton are more sensitive. Try to keep food and beverages away from the rug to prevent stains. Consult a specialist for specific cleaning instructions.

Storage
If you are not using the rug for an extended period of time, roll it up and store it in a dry, clean place to avoid dust and moisture. If possible, use a breathable fabric cover to protect the rug.
