Rug Care Enjoy the beauty of your new purchase for years with the help
of our proper maintenance guide. Follow the below mentioned instructions
carefully and you will be able to take good care of the rug at home.
UNPACKING:
When first taken out of the packing and unrolled, the rug may
have bulges that will prevent it from laying flat on the floor. This
occurs due to tight rolling during shipment. It will disappear in a day or
two. If the problem persists please put a heavy flat object on top of it for
sometime and it will help in solving the problem.
SHEDDING:
During initial use, you will notice some shedding of the
wool pile. This is a common occurrence with any wool product and does not
reflect on the actual wear ability of the rug.
CLEANING:
Vacuum regularly. Remove any grease spots with ordinary wool
cleaning detergents. The frequency of cleaning varies according to the
traffic the rug receives. Caked on dirt is difficult to remove, so you need
to be careful to prevent this from happening.
PROFESSIONAL
CLEANER:
You may have the cleaning done professionally, depending on your personal
requirement and the state of the rug. Before getting professional help, make
sure of certain things:
.Be sure that the
cleaner knows how to clean your particular type of rug. Cleaning a hand
knotted or a hand-tufted rug is a lot different from cleaning
wall-to-wall carpet!
.Inspect the rug with the cleaner. Note existing stains and damage before
it is cleaned.
Get a signed receipt and guarantee for the work to be done.
SPOT CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
.If you spill
something on the rug, clean it immediately. This will help in
preventing the stain from setting in. Remember, once the stain sets
in, it becomes that more difficult to clean it.
.Never rub a spill, as it forces the spill deeper into the rug.
Always, blot with clean white cloth. Removing as much moisture from
the spill as possible by blotting with a clean, white, absorbent
cloth is the key.
.Use lukewarm water containing a wool cleaning liquid to remove any
residual stain.
.If water does not help, you can always use a solvent to remove a
spill. Remember to pretest the solvent on a small area of the rug by
applying a few drops, then blotting with a clean, white, absorbent
cloth.
.Always, use clean tap water to remove any residual cleaner, and
absorb any remaining moisture with dry towels. When dry, vacuum pile
to restore texture.
.If the preceding steps do not help in proper cleaning of the rug,
please send it to a reputable professional cleaner.
