7 Ways to Clean and Care
-
Vacuum It
Vacuuming the rug is the most convenient way to remove dust.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a gentle setting to get rid of the dust and preserve the rug’s charm. For high-traffic areas, make frequent vacuuming a part of the schedule. However, be sure to avoid high-intensity vacuum cleaners for these delicate threads.
-
Blot the Spot
Spills are inevitable. However, strategic handling is the key.
Start cleaning by dabbing and pressing the stain with a clean and dry cloth. This soaks the excessive liquid. The next step is to rub a wet cloth over the spot to dilute the residues. Perform this multiple times to fade the mark.
The final stage is to use a mild shampoo or cleaning liquid that removes the spot without harming the rug’s original colours.
-
No Sun
While sunlight is essential to brighten up a space, it can cause real damage to your rugs. Make sure not to expose the rug to harsh sunlight.
-
Don’t Forget to Rotate
The best tactic to mitigate fade is to rotate the rug regularly. This will result in even wear on both sides, keeping the rug balanced.
-
Nano-coating for Stain Resistance
Avoid stains on your non-washable tufted rugs with nano-coating. The solution makes it water-resistant, maximises resistance to dirt, and breathes life into your eye-pleasing rugs.
-
Maintaining Rugs with Pets
Millennials love pets. And Pret makes the coexistence of your furry friends and rugs possible with a simple maintenance trick. Clean the fur with a vacuum cleaner and use baby wipes to clean the stains.To avoid severe damage to the rug, opt for professional cleaning services for healthy stain removal.
-
Giving a New Shine with Thorough Cleaning
Deep spots and spills demand extensive action, which is where deep cleaning comes into the picture.
Rather than performing it yourself, contact professional services for deep cleaning.
