Originally featured in Outlook.Practical rug care between professional cleans
This archive entry records The Ambiente's rug-care feature in Outlook. The everyday aim is simple: remove loose dirt gently and avoid cleaning methods that damage the fibre or backing. Start with the care information supplied with your particular rug.
Vacuum using the setting recommended for the construction, keeping the cleaner away from fringes and loose threads. Blot a fresh liquid spill with a clean, dry cloth instead of rubbing it deeper into the pile. Check before applying water or any cleaning product, especially on delicate fibres or rugs with adhesive backing.
Our rug care guide explains routine maintenance. If your rug contains wool, read these tips for maintaining a wool rug alongside the product's own instructions. Persistent stains, colour transfer or a wet backing are reasons to ask a rug-cleaning specialist for help.
