Care & maintainence
Your new rug
A new rug is one of the easiest ways to freshen the look, colour
and style of your home. To make it last it must be properly taken
care of, the following tips and information will help prolong the
life of your rug.
Odours
Odours are caused by dyes, latex and by shipping for long
distances in a sealed bag. These odours will dissipate within a
few days once the rug is removed from its wrapping.
Shedding
All wool rugs will shed fibre. This will subside over time
depending on traffic, wear and maintenance. We would expect
the shedding to be minimised after 20-25 vacuums.
Sprouting
Loose fibres or sprouts are a normal part of the wearing in
process with any hand made rug. These rising fibres should be
snipped off with a small pair of scissors. Do not pull these yarns
as this can cause a deterioration of the backing.
Fading and Wear
If exposed to direct sunlight there is a good chance that your
rug will fade over time. To even out the effects of the sun and to
balance wear we recommend that your rug is turned every couple
of months.
Maintenance
Vacuuming
Your rug will last longer and look better if it is vacuumed
regularly. This will help prevent dirt on the surface of the rug
filtering down into the pile where it can accumulate and cause
increased wear.
For routine cleaning we recommend the use of a suction only
type vacuum cleaner. Do not use a rotating brush cleaner as
this can damage the rug pile surface.
If the rug has overlocked edges refrain from running the
cleaner over the edge as this will loosen fibres and cause
them to unravel.
Spills
For spills the basic rule is to aim to remove as much moisture
as you can as quickly as possible. Blot up excess spills with a
clean white cloth or paper towel, working from the outer edge
in. Never rub a spill as this can spread the stain and damage
the pile.
Should stains prove stubborn and difficult to remove we
recommend the use of a professional cleaning company (such
as Servicemaster who have national offices across the UK).
To avoid the possibility of colour transfer between your rug
and the floor surface beneath we strongly advise the use of
underlay. This will have the added benefit of reducing the
potential for trip hazards by minimising slippage.
Viscose, jute and sisal fibres are particularly susceptible to
staining. Extra care should be taken to avoid spillages of any
kind on rugs containing these elements.
Polypropylene pile rugs are hard wearing and have excellent
stain resistant properties.
Latex Allergy
Please note that most rugs contain natural latex in their
construction.
