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. Remove dry spots by scraping carefully from the outer edges toward the middle of the spot. Do not rub wet spots; simply blot with paper towels, and clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. High traffic may cause a loop to occasionally pop up. Do not pull or trim the loop with scissors; simply tuck it back into the weave. Use a high-quality rug pad to help protect the rug. Rotate your rug every few months to ensure even wear. Flammable, do not place near a source of ignition.
