Rugs are more than floor coverings; they're pieces of art that add style and protection to your home. However, maintaining their beauty requires proper care.
Furniture Fair has a wide selection of area rugs in various sizes, and we want to ensure that our customers in Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, Louisville, and Indianapolis, can enjoy a new rug purchase for many years.
In this comprehensive guide, we delve into two popular rug materials—wool and synthetic—offering insights on how to preserve and clean them effectively.
Wool rugs, known for their natural fibers, require gentle cleaning methods. Unlike synthetics, they can't withstand harsh chemicals or steam cleaners. To prevent shedding and maintain their luster, use mild cleaners and avoid vigorous vacuuming.
On the other hand, synthetic rugs like polypropylene offer more flexibility in cleaning. They withstand water exposure, allowing you to hose them down and dry them quickly under the sun. With synthetic rugs, you can use various cleaning methods like hot water extraction or steam cleaning.
Regardless of the rug type, using a rug pad is essential. It not only enhances comfort but also safeguards your flooring from wear and tear caused by rug backings. Different types of rug pads cater to various flooring, ensuring maximum protection.
Remember, if your rug seems beyond care or no longer suits your decor, seek guidance from furniture specialists. Furniture Fair provides a wide array of rug options and expert advice for your replacement needs.
Mastering the art of rug care ensures your rugs remain vibrant and functional for years to come. Whether it's maintaining a woolen treasure or caring for a synthetic beauty, these tips will keep your rugs looking impeccable.
Whether you are in the market for an area rug or an entire living room set, Furniture Fair has options for you. Visit our locations in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and schedule an appointment with one of our furniture experts, and find the right rug for your home.
