First of all, we cannot overstress the wisdom of a regular cleaning program. If you wait until the soiling is noticeable the dirt may have worked its way from the surface down to the base of the rug where it will be harder to remove. For light to medium traffic areas, proper vacuuming once a day for places which receive high traffic will help reduce soiling and keep your area rugs looking like new.

 

Vaccuum Tips: Short cut pile & loop pile area rugs

-Adjust the beater bar so it is rotating when in contact with the area rug. A worn belt will reduce the vacuum’s effectiveness, so make sure the belt is fairly new.

-Adjust the height of the beater bar so that it lightly touches the pile of the area rug without slowing the vacumm motor down

-Check the vacuum bag often. Vacuums clean less efficiently when the bag is over half full
