How to care for your oushak rug

If you have beautiful oushak rugs at home and want to keep them looking fresh and clean, I've got some handy tips for you! 🏠✨

1️⃣ Regular Vacuuming: Make it a habit to vacuum your rugs at least once a week to remove dust, dirt, and debris. This simple step can prevent buildup and maintain the rug's vibrant colors.

2️⃣ Blot Stains Immediately: Accidents happen, and when spills occur, it's essential to act fast! Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot the stain gently. Avoid rubbing, as it might spread the stain further.

3️⃣ Mild Cleaning Solutions: For deeper cleaning, opt for mild rug cleaners or homemade solutions. A mixture of water, vinegar, and a drop of dish soap can work wonders without damaging the fibers.

4️⃣ Test Cleaning Products: Before using any cleaning product on your rug, test it in an inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration or damage.

5️⃣ Professional Cleaning: For deep and thorough cleaning, consider professional rug cleaning services every 1-2 years, depending on the foot traffic.

6️⃣ Sunlight and Fresh Air: Occasionally, let your rugs bask in the sunlight and fresh air. This helps to eliminate odors and keeps them smelling fresh.

7️⃣ No Shoes Policy: Encourage a no-shoes policy at home to prevent dirt and outside contaminants from being tracked onto your rugs.

8️⃣ Rotate Rugs Regularly: Rotating your rugs every few months ensures even wear and tear, keeping them looking pristine for longer.

Remember, proper rug maintenance not only keeps your home clean but also prolongs the life of your beautiful rugs!
