Care and Cleaning
General Care
The best care you can give your natural 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.
General Vacuuming Advice
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.
Cleaning Your Natural Fiber Carpet
Natural Fiber carpets include Sisal, Wool, Wool and Sisal, Wool Blends, Jute, Seagrass and Hemp. Never saturate your carpet with water or cleaner; this will stain it. Any method that involves saturation with water, such as steam cleaning, hot water extraction or wet shampooing should NOT be used. These methods can cause shrinkage, dimensional changes, and staining of natural fibers.
When liquid spills occur, blot up (do not rub) immediately with a clean, dry, undyed cloth. If the spilled material is solid, scrape up what you can with a dull edge spatula.
Dry extraction methods of cleaning spills and stains are recommended, products such as the Host® Dry Carpet Cleaning System or Capture Carpet and Rug Dry Cleaner. For more information, visit hostdry.com or captureclean.com
Always test the cleaning method to ensure that color is not affected. Test in a small, concealed area first.
Custom Size Guide
Dining
- The perfect size rug will allow the chairs to be accessed while all four legs stay on the rug. Depending on the scale of the chairs, 24”-36” of rug beyond the edges of the table is recommended.
- Leave a border of bare floor around the rug. (4” minimum recommended)
Bedroom
- When stepping out of bed, your feet should always land on the rug.
- Place the rug under at least 2/3 of the bed and allow the rug to cover 30”-36” on each side and the foot of the bed.
Living Room
- In open floor plans, a custom rug can help define the sitting area.
- Furnishings should sit partially or completely on the rug, while still allowing ample space to move in and out of the area. This usually means allowing 18”-24” of space between sofa and chairs or sofa and coffee table.
Odd Spaces
- Most hallways are perfect with a 30” wide runner. Runners should extend the length of the hallway or enough to ensure it doesn’t end in the middle of a doorway.
- For bathroom dressing areas, a good rule of thumb is a rug which sits neatly 2” inside both ends of a vanity.
- Most entryway rugs allow for 18” of bare floor between rug and walls. Smaller entryways are limited to the width of the door.
