    How to Care for Your Area Rug

    An area rug can be a room’s most definitive and stylish decorative item. Depending on its size, shape, and colour, an area rug can change the entire look and tone of a room, or establish an elevated sense of cohesion among furniture. It’s for this reason that homeowners continue to turn to the area rug when decorating a home’s interior. While area rugs are staples of home décor, some homeowners may be unsure of how to best protect and preserve their rugs. To extend the longevity of your area rug, it’s essential to be diligent about regular care and upkeep. The quality of an area rug can quickly diminish as a result of foot traffic, sunlight exposure, dust, dirt, and stains if adequate care isn’t given. For area rugs delicately constructed or made of fine materials, this care becomes even more important. So how can you properly care for your area rug from Surplus Furniture?
