How To Spot Clean Your Rug

  • Clean with mild, non-bleach detergent; skip harsh chemicals.
  • This prevents permanent staining and keeps rugs fresh.

    Learn How to Unroll your Rug

    To protect your investment, use a rug pad. A rug pad provides traction between the rug and floor to prevent slipping. It adds padding and keeps the rug smooth and flat. Extending the life of the rug, a pad protects the backing and prevents any possible color transfer.
