Care + Cleaning
Secure Your Rug + Protect Your Floors
Padding
A pad holds a rug in position, adds comfort underfoot and protects the floor underneath the rug. Pads also help to improve a rug’s longevity by securing it in place and preventing fraying. Keep padding two inches shorter than your rug on each side so the pad doesn’t show outside the rug’s edges. Don’t include any fringe in this measurement. Your rug may need a non-standard size pad, especially if it is a one-of-a-kind piece. We custom cut padding in our Farmville flagship store so it’s just the right size for your Green Front rug.
QUICK CLEANING TIPS
Couldn’t quite keep those hands steady at wine o’clock? Kids and pets just doing what they do? Don’t sweat it. Life happens. We’ve got some great tips and tricks for caring for your rug.
- Vacuuming: Don’t use a high-powered vacuum or a churning floor brush — those are meant for wall to wall carpets and will damage the fibers over time of a handmade rug. Use the hardwood floor or low-power attachment for a longer rug life.
- Spot Cleaning: When in doubt, spot clean with soap and water, or if that doesn’t work, use a dry solvent powder cleaner.
- Professional Cleaning: Professional cleaning is always recommended for big issues!
