Rug Care & Maintenance
Simple care tips to help maintain appearance, color, and comfort for years to come.
Properly caring for your rug can help maintain its beauty for years to come. Always check the care instructions provided with your rug for any special direction.
With a little fresh air, the scent of a new rug will soon disappear. It comes from yarns being rolled up tightly during shipping.
Color and shading can appear lighter or darker depending on lighting. Try rotating the rug to find the best look for your space.
After being rolled, packaged, and shipped, your rug may appear wrinkled. This is normal and should improve with time.
Simply tumble the rug in the dryer for approximately 20 minutes, and it should look great.
Larger rugs may need a little extra time to relax after shipping. Follow the steps below to help flatten creases.
Unroll or unfold the rug and let it sit on the floor for a few days. The creases should naturally work themselves out over time.
Roll the rug in the opposite direction of the creases. Leave it rolled for a few hours or overnight to counteract the original fold.
If the weather is warm, place the rug in direct sunlight for a few hours. The heat will help the fibers relax and flatten more easily.
Place a heavy object, such as a book or piece of furniture, on crease spots to help flatten them out.
Vacuum frequently to remove dirt before it becomes embedded in the fibers. Avoid aggressive brush settings when possible.
Rotate your rug periodically to promote even wear and consistent color exposure.
