How will you keep the rug for a long time?

Contrary to many people’s beliefs, the rug is an item that needs regular maintenance in order to last a long time.

As you have seen there is a huge variety of types of rugs, made of different materials at different densities and each rug has its own maintenance instructions,
we have collected for you the five rules for maintaining all rugs to help you keep the item valuable over time.

Carpet placement

Carpet placement is of great importance that affects its durability.

It is not recommended to place rugs under heavy furniture, if you still decide to place the rug under the furniture,
keep in mind that the visible area can change its shade and wear over the years so
you will not be able to change its position in the future without leaving the furniture mark.

In addition, it is not recommended to place the rug in the area where direct sunlight reaches,
sun exposure on a daily basis causes the fabric fibers to lose their color and durability.

Routine weekly maintenance

Once a week the carpet should be vacuumed, once every six months the carpet should be
turned on its back for two / three days in order to ventilate the dust and redistribute the fibers.
In addition, it is recommended to rotate the carpet once in a while to prevent abrasion in a particular place.

Insulate the carpet

One of the most common mistakes is laying the carpet directly on the flooring.

On the face of it, it does not sound like a mistake, but every small movement of the rug causes wear and tear on its back,
and already after a few months, a decrease in the quality of the rug can be seen.

Separate the rug from the flooring by mesh or felt designed for rugs.

Moisture prevention

Another carpets are not known to like moisture.

And in Israel’s Mediterranean climate it is difficult to prevent the accumulation of moisture that damages the carpet.
In order to protect the carpet from the damage caused by the moisture,
the carpet should be spread out once a year in a place flooded with sun for several hours,
in this way you will dry the moisture absorbed in the carpet and prevent irreversible damage.

Cleaning

Maintain regular maintenance of carpet cleaners and read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

If a stain is formed on the carpet, it must be cleaned quickly in order to prevent the stain from being absorbed permanently – this can be done with dedicated cleaning materials.

Avoid rubbing the stain! The rubbing action will cause the stain to spread and grow, try to absorb the material that stained the carpet and of course after cleaning ventilate it in a well-lit place to prevent the accumulation of moisture.

If you do not have the opportunity to spread the carpet in an outdoor place under sunlight,
we do not recommend ordering a professional cleaning company due to the fact
that the professional cleaning materials are required in complete drying of the carpet.
