Daily Area Rug Care
In the middle of a busy week, it can be hard to remember to care for your striking area rugs. However, the more preventative measure that you can take, the easier it is to keep your rugs looking fresh and fabulous! Use mats by all entrances and encourage guests to scrape footwear before coming inside. During rainy or snowy weather, have all footwear removed by the door to prevent dirt, mud, moisture, ice, and slush from reaching your rug surfaces. Make sure to review your rug manufacturer's warranty before investing in a robot vacuum cleaner.
