REGULAR VACUUM CLEANING
Vacuum your rugs at least once a week to remove dirt and allergens that can build up in the carpet. In high-traffic areas, more frequent vacuuming is recommended, as well as extra care along edges and under furniture. You can use a vacuum cleaner with an adjustable brush so it can be adapted to the type of ru - for example, after short pile and long pile.



ROTATION OF CARPETS
Rotating the rug Furniture and activity put more stress on certain areas of the rug than others. Rotating the rug can help prevent uneven wear and reduce the risk of color differences from sunlight. Rotate the rug 180° every six months. This is especially important if the rug is in a room with a lot of sunlight or high daily use.



THOROUGH CLEANING
To ensure your rug remains clean and well-maintained, it is important to supplement your daily care with more thorough cleaning. It is recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every 12-18 months, depending on how much use it has and its location in your home. Professional cleaning can help remove deeper dirt and refresh the appearance of your rug. If you choose to use a steam or rug cleaner yourself, it is crucial to ensure that your rug is completely dry after cleaning. Inadequate drying can lead to the development of mold and odors, which can be harmful to both the rug and the indoor climate.



STORAGE
If the rug is to be stored, it should always be rolled up rather than folded, as fold marks can be difficult to remove. Store the rug in a dry and ventilated room. To avoid moisture, which can lead to mold or bad odors. To further protect it from dust and insects, you can use a cloth bag or plastic as a cover.



PROTECT FROM SUNLIGHT
The sun's UV rays can cause fading and discoloration of rugs, especially those with strong or dark colors. It is therefore a good idea to use curtains or blinds that are drawn during the day when the sun is at its strongest. Avoid placing the carpet in areas with constant direct sunlight. If this cannot be avoided, rotating the carpet can help minimize visible color differences.



AVOID MARKS FROM FURNITURE
Heavy furniture can cause permanent pressure marks in the rug, but this can be prevented by placing furniture pads under the feet of the furniture. This reduces the pressure and distributes the weight evenly, preventing deep indentations. If possible, move the furniture slightly at regular intervals to avoid constantly putting pressure on the same area of ​​the rug.



USE RUG UNDERLAY
A rug underlay can make a big difference to both the lifespan of the rug and add
extra comfort for the rug. A rug underlay prevents the rug from slipping and makes the rug more stable. In addition, it protects the rug from wear and tear that occurs when it rubs against the floor

Stearin
Candle wax stains are best removed using heat. Place a paper bag or a piece of baking paper over the stain.
Use an iron on low heat without steam and press it gently against the paper so that the wax melts and is absorbed into the paper.
Move the paper continuously to a clean area to absorb more wax. Any residue can be removed with a little alcohol or a suitable
cleaning agent depending on the material.

Long pile
Long-pile rugs require special care to maintain their soft texture and avoid damage.
Use a vacuum cleaner without rotating brushes, as these can tear the fibers loose or create uneven areas in the surface of the pile. Vacuum along the natural direction of the pile to avoid unnecessary wear. If stains occur, use a mild carpet cleaner. Dab gently, avoid rubbing as this may spread the stain or push it deeper into the fibres. Always make sure that the rugs dries completely to avoid bad odors or mold.

Short pile
Rugs with short pile are easy to maintain and less susceptible to damage from daily use. Here you can use a vacuum cleaner with or without rotating brushes, depending on the quality of the rug. Rotating brushes can help remove deeper embedded dirt, but should be used with caution to avoid abrasion on more delicate materials. For stain removal, the method is the same as for long pile rugs: use a mild cleaning solution, dab gently and rinse with a slightly damp cloth.

Natural materials
Rugs made from natural materials such as wool, sisal, jute, and bamboo viscose require gentle care to maintain their quality. Wool rugs should be cleaned with milder detergents to protect the natural oils that give the rug its durability and shine. Remove stains by gently dabbing with a slightly damp cloth and avoid rubbing. Sisal and jute only tolerate minimal moisture, so it is best to use dry cleaning methods such as vacuuming or light brushing. For stains, you can use an almost dry cloth with a mild solution, but avoid soaking the fibers.

Synthetic Materials
Materials such as polypropylene, polyester, and microfiber are known for their durability and stain-resistant properties, but proper maintenance is still important to maintain their appearance. Polypropylene and polyester can be cleaned with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water, but it is important to test on a small area first to avoid color changes. Gently dab the stain and dry the area immediately to prevent moisture build-up. Microfiber is particularly easy to keep clean, and regular vacuuming is often enough to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn stains, you can use a mild cleaning solution and wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
