By taking some basic steps, you can increase the life of your handmade rug considerably. Here are some tips to help:-
(1) Our handmade rugs should be brushed or vacuumed regularly to prevent the build-up of damaging dust and grit.
(2) Rugs should also be turned occasionally to even out any areas of wear that may be occurring
(3) Some rugs are prone to sprouting. This is where some threads of the pile will appear that are longer than the rest of the pile. In this case all you need to do is trim any longer strands with a pair of sharp scissors. It is important that you do not try to pull these long threads out as this can damage your custom rug.
(4) Most light dirty marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Spills should be cleaned immediately and not left for later. It is NEVER ideal to rub a spill.
