When it comes to everyday spills on area rugs, there are times when these stains can be cared for at home with an over-the-counter cleaning agent, and or a carpet cleaner. However 9 times out of 10 your area rug needs to be cleaned by a professional at a professional rug washing facility. It is important to know whether the stain can be treated at home, with a homemade spot solution, or if the rug needs to be taken to a wash facility, where special chemicals and care will be used. If a stain is incorrectly evaluated, and treated with an over-the-counter spot cleaner, or by a steam cleaning method, instead of being treated by a professional, the stain will permanently set. 

To avoid setting stains, here are a few stains that can be treated at home, and a few that should be left to the pros.

Note: These suggestions are based on general terms. Every rug and stain are different. If you have a high-end, delicate area rug, always have your rug professionally cleaned. As far as all other rugs go, we always suggest to have your rug, and any stains on it, treated by a professional at a wash facility.  If you are unsure as to whether the stain is treatable at home, leave the spot untouched, and immediately have your area rug professionally cleaned.

For those small and less serious stains or issues, we have a few at-home rug care/cleaning tips for you!

It is important to know that area rug care is determined by size, construction, and material — all factors are equally important. Having said that, please keep in mind all factors of your area rug when reading the tips mentioned below.

Determining what rug material is best for your home — or a particular space — is a fundamental part of buying the right rug.  It’s extremely important to take a look at how each space will be used, what kind of foot traffic it will get and if there will be any children or pets in the space. For example, often, in homes we have rooms that receive more “use” than others, or even rooms where pets and/or children predominantly spend their time, and other spaces where children and/or pets may not spend any of their time. This is important because it allows you to determine what type of rug each individual space will need — not all rooms in a house will require the same type of rug material.  

Take a look at our smart manual for the most generally used materials for area rugs, as well as the upsides, and drawbacks, of each.
