Rugs can add something extra to a room's style for sure. That's why you need to take care of them. To keep the rugs in your home looking clean and beautiful, there are certain things you need to know. Rug fibres can be home to millions of microorganisms, such as mould spores, pollen particles, and dust mites. This is why regular rug cleaning is essential and not just part of an annual spring clean. You can follow some home hacks to keep rugs looking, smelling and feeling as good as new.

Clean up the spillages immediately  As soon as a liquid is spilt onto a rug, soak it up quickly to ensure it 'doesn't penetrate the yarns. Then blot the affected area with some cotton. Keep repeating until all the liquid has been absorbed. When all the spillages are gone, leave the rug to dry completely before placing it back on the floor. The whole procedure will take several hours (usually 3 to 4 hours).    * Don't rub stains as it can cause them to become set in the fibres, instead blot them with a cloth!  Try a washable rug  That's way easier and you done don't need to take much care for it. It is simple; you choose a machine washable rug. It saves time, money and efforts.  Protect from pets  If you are an animal lover and you take care of animals, you need to pick up the right kind of rug. If you want to reduce the damage that your pet can inflict, try a short-haired carpet. It is much easier to clean. Also, dark-coloured rugs hide the chew marks or scratches. However, 'you'll take more care, but for pets love it worth it!  * Vacuum the 'drug's underside too – at least once a month. "Recipe" for stains Depending on the type of fabric, some rugs are better at repelling stains. A mixture of equal parts white wine vinegar, washing up liquid and warm water should remove tough stains like coffee, red wine.    

Hire a Professional

 Especially Antique carpets, Persian rugs, and other delicate pieces should be left to the professionals. (* If you have an Oriental rug – block the sunlight- it makes it fade dramatically.) These types of rugs are expensive to replace, so it pays to invest in their care to keep them in great shape. No matter what your carpet is after a while, vacuuming isn't enough to get it truly clean. Professional cleaning companies have the necessary equipment to make your rug looks like a new one!
