The art of paying attention to little details
Make sure to rotate your rugs to ensure even wear. Regular cleaning will prevent fibres from being worn down by dust and dirt.
- Do not expose rugs to direct sunlight as this will cause discolouration and fibre degradation.
- Dislodge dirt and debris from your rugs and carpets using your vacuum cleaner's mechanical brush. One quick aspiration is sufficient for long-haired carpets in order to avoid damaging the loops.
- Place felt pads under furniture legs and move furniture pieces occasionally to avoid compacting the rug fibres.
- Immediately repair all damaged rug fringes and edges.
- Do not steam clean your rugs. Professional services include beating rugs, cleaning with water and mild soap, a gentle spin cycle and a quick drying suspension technique using controlled temperature.
- Store your rugs by rolling them and adding mothballs. Do not store rugs in a basements where insects and mites can damage them.
Do not hesitate to consult our in-store experts for more information.
