At MickeyMack, we believe that proper care extends the beauty and life of your rug. To help you enjoy lasting comfort and style, we have prepared the following care guidelines.
General Care Guidelines
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum your rug weekly to remove dust and prevent dirt buildup. For wool and delicate blends, use a low-suction setting.
- Rotation: Rotate your rug every 6–12 months to ensure even wear and fading.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid placing rugs in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent discoloration.
- Furniture Placement: Use rug pads or furniture protectors to reduce pressure marks and extend rug durability.
Spot Cleaning & Stains
- Immediate Action: Blot spills gently with a clean cloth—do not rub, as it may spread the stain.
- Mild Cleaning: Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent for small stains. Test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
- Professional Cleaning: For persistent stains or deep cleaning, we recommend using professional rug cleaning services.
Material-Specific Care
- Wool Rugs: Naturally resilient, but avoid excessive moisture. Professional cleaning every 12–18 months is advised.
- Cotton Rugs: Machine washable in most cases, but follow product care labels closely. Air dry only.
- Polyester Rugs: Stain-resistant and easy to maintain—spot clean with mild solutions.
- Wool & Silk Blend Rugs: Handle with care; dry cleaning or professional services are highly recommended.
- Natural Fiber Rugs (e.g., jute, sisal): Avoid water exposure. Use dry cleaning methods such as vacuuming or dry powders.
Storage Guidelines
- Clean rugs thoroughly before storage.
- Roll, never fold, to prevent creases.
- Store in a cool, dry place with a protective cover to prevent dust and insects.
