Care & Cleaning Guide for Custom Tufted Rugs
Share
Custom tufted rugs are not only decorative pieces but also an expression of personal style. To keep your rug looking vibrant and soft for years, proper care and cleaning are essential. Below, we share practical tips on how to maintain, clean, and protect your tufted rug.
1. Regular Maintenance
Vacuum Weekly: Use a vacuum cleaner with a gentle brush setting to remove dust and debris. Avoid using high suction on delicate fibers.
Rotate the Rug: Every few months, rotate your rug to prevent uneven fading and wear from sunlight and foot traffic.
Shake Outdoors: For smaller rugs, take them outside and gently shake to remove loose dirt.
2. Spot Cleaning
Blot, Don’t Rub: If you spill something, immediately blot with a clean, dry cloth. Rubbing can push stains deeper into the fibers.
Mild Soap Solution: Mix lukewarm water with a few drops of gentle detergent. Dab the stained area carefully, then blot dry.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Strong cleaners can damage the tufted texture and fade colors.
3. Deep Cleaning
Professional Cleaning: Every 12–18 months, consider professional rug cleaning, especially for large or heavily used rugs.
Steam Cleaning (With Care): For synthetic tufted rugs, gentle steam cleaning may be used, but always test a small area first.
4. Protection & Storage
Use Rug Pads: A rug pad beneath helps reduce slipping, provides cushioning, and extends rug life.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged UV exposure can cause color fading.
Proper Storage: If storing long-term, roll the rug (not fold), wrap in breathable fabric, and keep in a cool, dry place.
By following these simple care steps, your tufted rug will stay soft, colorful, and durable for many years. With the right maintenance, your rug isn’t just décor—it’s a lasting piece of art in your home.
