Keep Your Rug Looking Its Best
Simple Tips for Area Rug Care and Maintenance
Your new rug is made to last, and with the right care, it will stay beautiful for years to come.
Regular Maintenance:
- Vacuum weekly to remove dirt, dust, and debris
- Rotate your rug every few months to promote even wear
- Place mats at entrances and remove shoes to reduce tracked-in grit
Handling Spills and Stains:
- Act fast when accidents happen — blot, don’t rub
- Use a clean cloth and cold water for liquid spills
- For stubborn stains, consult your rug’s care instructions or ask our team for product-safe cleaning recommendations
Proper care will preserve your rug’s color, texture, and comfort while extending its lifespan.

Have Questions? We’re Here to Help
Can you turn my leftover carpet into a custom rug?
Yes! We can use any carpet remnant to create a beautiful area rug or runner with professionally finished edges using binding or serging techniques.
What’s the difference between carpet binding and serging?
Binding uses a durable fabric edge for a clean, tailored look, while serging wraps the edge with thread for a more traditional, hand-sewn finish. Both provide lasting durability and prevent fraying.
Do I need a rug pad for my area rug?
Absolutely. A quality rug pad adds comfort, prevents slipping, and protects your flooring from scratches — especially on hardwood or tile surfaces.
How long does it take to make a custom area rug?
Most custom rugs can be fabricated within a few days, depending on size, material, and finishing details. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your consultation.
How do I clean spills or stains on my custom rug?
Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth and cold water, never rub. For deeper stains, use an approved cleaning product or ask our team for safe, manufacturer-recommended solutions.
