Area Rug Maintainance

SoHo Carpets and Rugs, one of the most innovative carpet companies in the world is committed to give customers quality and unique Area Rugs. To make SoHo Area Rugs a lifetime investment requires proper maintainance. Here are some tips for you to keep SoHo Carpets and Rugs a lifetime investment:

It is best to remove sand, dirt and grime before it makes its way into the base of your SoHo area rug, where it will be more difficult to remove.

High traffic areas of rugs should be vacuumed daily or at least every other day. The entire rug should be vacuumed at least twice weekly.

Flip your SoHo area rug often and pat it down to shake loose dirt particles that have worked their way into the carpet's loops. Sweeping or vacuuming the back of the rug once a year is the most effective way to dislodge worn in particles.

Do not use laundry detergents to clean your area rug to avoid possible optical brighteners.

Take your area rugs out of doors occasionally.

Area rug should be rotated once every six months if the carpet is in a high traffic room. Heavy furniture like pianos and sofas should be moved occasionally, even if only slightly, to prevent excessive pile crushing.

Keep your area rug safe from exposure to direct sunlight that could cause the colors to fade. Do not expose the rug to sunlight on a regular basis. Too much sunlight causes the colors to fade which in turn creates unevenness in the colors of the rug. Silk is especially vulnerable to sunlight. Using drapes or blinds to shade the rug during hours of direct daylight and occasionally rotating the rug will help to preserve a rug's color and keep it even.

Professional cleaning every 1-3 years, depending on the traffic and location is recommended. Hot water extraction method is best for most rugs. Make sure that your rug cleaning service is familiar with your type of rug.

If an area rug becomes spotted or stained, work quickly. Scoop up solids and blot liquids immediately after a spill occurs. Absorb as much liquid as possible with a white cloth or paper towel without scrubbing the area to prevent matting or fuzzing.

In case of spill work from the outer edge towards the center so it does not spread. Use a spoon or spatula to scoop up large debris and remove excess liquid, but do not rub or scrub at the fibers -- this will cause the pile to mat and clump, and may thus increase the visibility of a potential stain.
