Renew Your Rug in 2006

Whether the rug is straight from the showroom or it has been on your floor for years, Rug Rats has the secrets to keep it looking new in the New Year. Maintenance is a necessary resolution for any rug owner who takes pride in their investment. These simple tips make it an easy resolution to keep.

Turn It Over For Even Wear
No one likes the sight of a rug that is worn and dull, but that is exactly what happens if the rug is not turned regularly. Besides spills and tears, your rug receives wear from normal foot traffic. Keeping the wear even is as simple as turning your rug regularly. This will distribute traffic over the entire surface and ensure a gorgeous rug for many years to come.

Smooth Bumpy Rugs & Carpets
Everyone loves rearranging furniture. It can give your room a face-lift and spare rugs and carpets that bear furniture weight. Heavy items can leave behind unsightly marks and indentations, but they don’t have to become part of your new decor. Place a white towel over the affected area. Turn an iron on the steam setting and move it back and forth over the towel as you would a garment. Remove the iron and towel. Then fluff the affected area by brushing up the fibers with a spoon or utensil and the surface is restored.

Fresh Steps To Fight Carpet Smells
After cleaning from the holiday rush, do you still notice a stale smell? It could be your carpet. Foot traffic, spills, and environmental odors – your carpet absorbs them all. Crush your leftover holiday potpourri, or use a new bag of your favorite scent, and sprinkle it into the carpet. You can mix the potpourri with baking soda for extra deodorizing action. Let the potpourri sit as long as necessary, then vacuum the carpet. This handy tip gives your carpet a fresh scent and clears any unpleasant odors in the room.

Treatments To Cure Nasty Stains
Spills and other accidents are inevitable, but there is no need to panic when they occur. You can give stains the boot with the right technique. Visit Rug Rats' Carpet and Rug Cleaning Tips page for spot removal solutions for every type of stain.
