Regular vacuuming and the occasional gentle shake should keep your rug looking its best. When vacuuming, always use the standard head with gentle suction?avoid heavy-duty vacuum cleaners. Do not use a rotating bristle head vacuum cleaner when vacuuming the rug as this can damage the structural integrity of the rug. As woven rugs settle, a stray piece of yarn may pop up. This is perfectly normal. Do not cut the yarn, simply tuck and pull it back through the underside of the rug. Use a high-quality rug pad to help protect the rug. Rotate your rug every few months to ensure even wear.
