Give Your Rug An Once-Over With A Vacuum. Just To Make Sure All Loose Particles Are Removed, It’s Smart To Give Your Rug A Quick Vacuum Before You Get To Getting Those Pesky Stains Out Of It. You Should Be Regularly Vacuuming Your Rug To Keep Dirt From Building Up.

Often New Rugs Begin To Produce Fluff As A Result Of Loose Fibers That Remain In The Rug After The Manufacturing Process. This Is Not A Fault Of The Rug, But A Standard Characteristic Of Woolen Rugs. With Regular Vacuuming This Will Reduce Over Time. Remember: Over-Vacuuming Will Only Increase Rug Shedding And Damage The Wool Fibers.

Vacuum The Rug In A “V” Action To Alternate The Vacuum’s Direction And Prevent Crushing The Fibers Of The Wool Rug. Repeat This 3 Times Over The Rug.
Regular Vacuuming Can Reduce The Abrasive Action Of Soil And Grit From The Pile And Should Take Place Even When The Rug Does Not Look Overly Dirty. A Good Quality Vacuum Cleaner Is Recommended To Remove Dust And Dirt From Such Rug. We Suggest Avoiding Powerful Vacuums Or Power Heads As Stiff Bristles And Strong Suction Can Damage The Pile. Vacuum As Needed Using Suction Only, No Bristles. Choose Upright Or Canister Vacuum Cleaners With A Rotating Beater Bar/Brush. Empty The Vacuums Dust Bag Once It Is Half Full To Ensure Proper Suction.
Regular Gentle Vacuuming Is The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Rug’s Health. Vacuuming (Even Without The Roller Brush) Removes Most Particles From The Rug’s Pile, Which Often Means Removing The Various Smells That Accompany Them. Whether Or Not Vacuuming Will Address The Root Cause Of Odor, It’s Always A Good Place To Start.Categorized Vacuum Plan According To Traffic Exposure High Traffic- Vacuum Daily (Extremely High Traffic Lanes May Require Vacuuming Several Times Daily).
