According to a recent style
article in the New York Times, handmade rugs are the latest craze in the interior design world and with Cambridge at the forefront of UK fashion trends, the time for laying sections of carpet is nigh.
Contrasting colours and asymmetric patterns are becoming increasingly common in modern homes across Cambridge and that means it's important to know how to care for them. Of course, there's no substitute for a
professional rug cleaning service, but to maintain your lovely rug to look as good as possible you should be aware of the following points:
Avoid Moisture: Water is handmade rug's worst enemy and you should avoid spillages as much as possible. Of course, accidents happen, but the key to maintaining a handmade rug is to dry it as soon as comes into contact with moisture. Doing this will keep it fresh and looking great for years to come.
Rotation is Crucial: Wear, tear and sunlight can play havoc with a handmade rug and to properly look after it you need to keep it moving. Rotating a handmade rug is the key to avoiding fading and uneven scuffs.
Underlay that Protect: Handmade rugs offer a plush surface to walk on and to properly care for it you need to return the favour with some
underlay. Protecting a rug from hard surfaces using underlay will not only give your carpet some extra lift but extend its lifespan.
Caring for a handmade rug takes time, effort but, ultimately with the help of a professional, it will be easier for you.
