These simple steps should help in determining whether your rug needs cleaning or not:

1. Pick up a corner of the rug and while holding it, kick the back of the rug sharply. If a cloud of dirt flies out of the pile, the rug is dirty and needs cleaning. NOTE: some dust and wool fibers are normal!
2. Kneel down on the rug and rub the pile vigorously with your hand in a short arc for 5 to 10 seconds.
3. Look at your fingers and palm: if your hand is dirty, the rug needs cleaning.
4. With the pile facing UP fold part of the rug back upon itself so that the pile opens along a line of knots.
5. Look down into the base of the pile at the foundation of the rug. If the warp and weft look dirty, there is dirt deep in the pile where a home vacuum cleaner cannot reach it. The rug needs cleaning.
6. If the rug has odor coming from it, it needs cleaning.
7. After a long period of storage the rug and accumulate dirt and in some cases wool eating moths. Thus after storing a rug, it is a great habit to get you rug washed thoroughly to remove any dirt or moths.
8. Stains and spills, if you rug contains stains it best to get it treated right away to ensure the rug does not get permanent color damage. You may not need a wash if the stains and spills are taken care of in a timely manner. The best solution for stains and spills is to use our recommended Oriental Area Rug Stain Lifter which you can order by clicking here.

Sunlight can be detrimental to your rug, continual exposure to sunlight will eventually cause color fading and reduce the fiber strength. Try to limit sun exposure where possible, by adding sheers and drapes over the windows, also rotate the rug 180 degrees every 12 months to get even fade. We also offer UV Protection that we can apply to the rug. This will help in keeping the rugs original colors bright and keep the fibers protected from wear and stains.

A rug pad offers a cushion and keeps the rug from skidding and sliding. If you feel your rug is moving becoming a trip hazard you will need to place a pad under you rug. The pad can also provide protection to looser woven rug by helping in keeping the rug knots intact specially in a high traffic area.

There are different types of pads available in the market. We recommend the dual multi-surface pad. This pad does not have any rubber, and thus can not disintegrate and cause small dirt particles under your rug. <strong>If you like to order pads for your rugs please call us at 720.998.8877</strong>

Below is a video that will show you a step by step process of installing your rug pad.

Washing would not cause wear to the rug. In fact the opposite is true. I dirty rug can cause the rug wear more rapidly. Dirt molecules in the fibers along with traffic, causes the dirt to scrape the fiber weakening that area. With a wash those dirt molecules are removed, the fibers are softer and helps retain the wear of the rug.
