General Rug Care
Do
Cleaning
Spot clean only when necessary. You can use a 1:100 ratio of room temperature or lukewarm water and dish soap or a mild detergent, and a soft cloth (like microfiber) to gently spot clean your rug. You need very little soap to avoid adding too much to your cleaning solution otherwise the soap will cause the fibers to fry funky.
Drying
Air dry your rug in a well-ventilated area after cleaning or if it gets damp
Vacuuming
Gently vacuum your rug to keep it clean and looking new for longer (but don't use an attachment with a beater bar or brush!)
Loose Strings
If there are any loose strings I recommend cutting them as soon as you notice. If a thread does come loose and you have to pull it out, don't stress one loose loop won't cause any damage.
Don't
Cleaning
Don't put your rug in a washing machine or dryer. The heat and forceful agitation can cause permanent damage to the rug, and submerging them in water can damage the adhesive and fibers.
Drying
Don't put your rug in the dryer or dry clean your rug.
Vacuuming
Don't use any type of bristle or brush to clean your rugs (this includes beater bars/brushes on vacuums).
Heat Exposure
Don't expose your rug to high heat (heat guns, blow dryers, fireplaces, etc.) as this can melt the fibers.
