TIP OF THE MONTH

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS: As a general rule, the safest recommendation we offer regarding cleaning any type of the rug is have it done professionally using the stream extraction method. The frequency of cleaning will vary according to the traffic a rug receives. Just like clothing, rugs should not be cleaned either too often or too seldom. Caked on dirt is diffucult to remove. Note that latex backed rugs(this includes almost all hand hooked rugs)must not be cleaned using petroleum based solvents. The rug will lose its body and the pile will become
loose when solvents are used for cleaning. Reversible rugs should be turned over then around, like rotating a mattress. Once both sides are dirty, have both sides cleaned. Many customers claim that Scotchguarding or applying a Teflon stain resistant product has helped their rugs stay cleaner, but be sure to apply it before the rug is used.
