The best care you can give your luxe fiber floor covering is regular, thorough vacuuming. For best results, vacuum from different directions, making several passes over the area. Heaviest traffic areas require the most attention to help reduce shedding and should receive regular vacuuming to reduce soil build-up. This will help prolong the beauty and life of the floor covering.

Avoid pulling your rug while furniture is standing on it as this might damage the rug. Never pull the rug by its edges.

Rugs should be loosely rolled for storage. Do not fold rugs as this can cause permanent creases.

Ensure that your vacuum beater bar is properly adjusted. Damage to the carpet fibers can occur if the brushes of the vacuum are set too low. We recommend the head of the vacuum be adjusted so that the brushes barely touch the face of the carpet. Do not use a vacuum that automatically adjusts, as it will adjust too low and damage fibers. Refrain from continuously running the vacuum over the bordered edges, as this may cause damage.

Always test a vacuum and vacuuming technique first; claims resulting from vacuuming will not be honored. Each product will react differently to every vacuum or vacuuming technique. Some vacuums should not be used, as they will cause excess fuzzing or sprouting of the fibers.

Luxe Fibers, which include nylon and polyester products, have different cleaning methods than natural fibers. To clean and properly maintain your luxe fiber carpet, follow these three key points. 1) Vacuum frequently. 2) Clean spills promptly by blotting, not rubbing, the area with warm water and a clean white cloth to remove excess moisture. 3) Have carpet cleaned by a trained and qualified professional cleaner as needed.

Vacuuming thoroughly and frequently is the most important thing you can do to keep your carpet looking great. Vacuuming helps remove dirt particles which dull the carpets appearance. Use walk-off mats at entrances to minimize the tracking of dirt particles onto the carpet and to reduce soil accumulation. Steam, or hot water extraction, is the recommended method for deep cleaning luxe fiber carpets or rugs.

Carpet made from micro polyester and other luxe fibers may show light and dark bands when unrolled. Falling pile creates this light and dark effect. These bands are corrected by changing the direction of the pile, either by hand or by vacuuming. Pressure marks due to the weight of the roll may result during storage or transit and take longer to correct. Extensive vacuuming in reverse direction of the pile is necessary.

Falling pile is inherent to all plush carpets and not a manufacturing defect. All plush carpets must be regularly vacuumed to make the pile stand straight.
