Rug Care
·
100% New Zealand Wool carpets are naturally resistant to soil and stains, due to the inherent properties of this material.
·
It is normal for new rugs to shed unnecessary loose fibers and, depending upon the usage, can last for the first few months.
·
Vacuum once per week and more frequently in high-traffic areas.
·
Be sure to use a gentle vacuum setting for more delicate materials like dull silk.
·
Treat stains immediately after a spill.
·
Blot wet stains to soak excessive moisture.
·
To remove stains, wipe gently with a clean, white cloth using lukewarm water or bleach-free cleaning solution (follow instructions on package and test a small, inconspicuous area first).
·
Gently remove dry stains without liquid, if possible.
·
Avoid using hot water, any chemicals or solvents.
·
Professional care is recommended, especially for silk rugs, due to the delicate nature of the material.
·
Seek professionals with the Rug Cleaning Technician (RCT) certification.
