How to Clean and Maintain Your Rug

Rugs make your home cozy—but they also take a beating. At RUGIN, we want your rug to last as long as your memories. Follow these easy care tips to extend its life and beauty.


🧽 1. Vacuum Regularly (But Gently)

Use a suction-only vacuum for delicate rugs. Avoid brush rolls that can damage fibers.

🧴 2. Spot-Clean Spills Immediately

Blot (don’t rub!) with a clean cloth. Use water or a mix of mild dish soap and water. Always test in a hidden spot.

🧼 3. Deep Clean Annually

Hire professionals or use a carpet cleaner for synthetic rugs. Avoid soaking natural fibers like jute.

💨 4. Rotate Every 6 Months

Prevents uneven fading or wear from foot traffic or sunlight.

🧵 5. Use Rug Pads

Minimize slipping and add cushioning—especially important for hallway runners or kids’ playrooms.


💡 RUGIN TIP:
Check your rug’s material label before using any cleaner. What works for wool might ruin synthetic fibers!
