Care and Cleaning
All rugs require care to maintain their beauty and longevity. Vacuum regularly with the hard brush attachment of your vacuum. PLEASE DO NOT USE A BEATER BRUSH (especially on the OUT DURABLE braids.).
Spot Cleaning
Spills should be cleaned as soon as possible. Spot cleaning with a non-bleach detergent is fine. For deep cleaning, we recommend seeking a professional dry cleaner. Our out durable rugs are stain resistant and can be cleaned by simply hosing them down. However, the rug must remain flat to dry. When cleaning any of our rugs, please let dry flat and flip to both sides to allow the rug to fully dry on both sides.
Professional or Dry Cleaning
When you need to clean the whole rug, we recommend dry cleaning. Do not put it in the washing machine.
Washing the Rug
We recommend Dry cleaning, do not wash at home in clothes washer.
Rug Pads 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.
Unrolling
All of our rugs lay flat when they leave the factory. When the rug is new, let it flatten out naturally before use. Work out any wrinkles using your hands or a cylinder (the actual carpet tube works well, too).
Fading
It is natural for rugs to fade in sunlight. Sunlight fading varies with where you live. We use the best materials so you should not have a problem, however all Homespice rugs come with a Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee, so if anything unforeseen happens we will exchange the rug for you. Flipping the carpet is a simple way to get the unfaded side up. Rotating the rug will help even out fading if it is in one area. Penny Rugs will pill for the first few days. Use a lint roller or vacuum to remove the fuzz.
Braided Rug Repair
Braided rugs are stitched together using extra strong thread. Should the threads become damaged or cut, the braids may start to separate. We recommend sewing the braids together with a needle and thread. If left unattended this separation will certainly grow.
Braided Rug Maintenance
Occasionally sprouts will appear in your rug. These are a natural by-product of the traditional method we use to make our braided rugs. Use a sharp pair of scissors and simply trim the sprout even with the rug. Trim, never pull loose ends.
