Every area rug requires special care to maximize the life and durability of the piece.

When purchasing an area rug, be sure to note the fiber types and origins of the rug. This information may be helpful as your Cornerstone Chem–Dry technician offers a specialized cleaning plan to ensure longevity.

Save yourself money and maintain a healthy home by using the following simple rug care tips:

• Vacuum your carpets three times a week using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high–efficiency particulate) filter.
• Avoid spills on your area rug. If a spill happens, quickly remove as much of the spot as possible using a dry white towel or wet suction extractor. Depending on the type of carpet fibers, hot water may damage your rug (consult with a Cornerstone Chem–Dry specialist on how to best handle your specific rug).
• Protect your area rug with Chem–Dry PowerGuard, Repel or Wool Protectant. Each formula is designed to match the needs of your carpet fibers to help minimize stains and make cleaning up spills easier.
• Avoid leaving an area rug in direct or partial sunlight as fading may occur.
• Routinely clean your area rugs professionally.
