The best care you can give your indoor/outdoor 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. 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.

Indoor/Outdoor carpets have different cleaning methods than natural fibers. When cleaning your indoor/outdoor rug, mild soap or detergent and water are recommended. Before cleaning, test in a small, concealed area. It may be necessary to clean and rinse the entire rug after spot cleaning to avoid spreading and staining.

Note that indoor/outdoor rugs intended for indoor use may be finished with various borders or attached rug pads, therefore a dry extraction cleaning method is recommended.
