Timeless Beauty, Built to Last

Care & Maintenance for Area Rugs

Area rugs add warmth, color, and comfort to your home, but a little upkeep goes a long way in keeping them fresh and beautiful, especially in Florida’s humid and rainy climate.

Everyday Protection

Reduce dirt, sand, and moisture by placing mats at entryways and removing shoes indoors. In high-traffic areas, choose low-maintenance rugs or machine-washable options for easier upkeep.

Cleaning Tips

Vacuum regularly using a setting suitable for your rug’s material to prevent buildup and preserve texture. For rugs that can’t be vacuumed, take them outside and shake them out to remove loose debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals and follow manufacturer recommendations for care.

Pet-Friendly Practices

Trim pet nails to prevent snags and brush them often to reduce shedding. Place mats under food and water bowls to guard against stains and moisture. Ensure pets are house-trained before letting them spend time on your rugs.

Spills & Stains

Tackle spills immediately to prevent mildew and staining. Gently remove solids with a spoon, then blot (don’t rub) with a dry, clean cloth and warm water. Use a rug-safe cleaner if needed and dry the area thoroughly. For deep refreshes, consider professional rug cleaning once a year.
