Having an area rug in the room is a great way to add color, comfort and beauty. But after you buy area rugs and put them on the floor, you would want to keep them looking their best for years to come. To get the longest wear out of your new rug, you should know a thing or two about area rug cleaning – especially when you’re facing grease stains, grape juice stains, mud stains and all the other stains that stick on rugs.

So let’s say you have invested on a very beautiful hand-tied, braided, woven, tufted, or machine made rug and you just can’t wait to roll it out without even sweeping up the dirt on the floor. If you decide not to take off your shoes before you walk on it and there is salt all over the place, you won’t realize that your rug is acting like a sponge and it is absorbing salt, dirt and road oil. Just imagine moths that could probably live on the back of your rug, slowly eating away the fibers on your rug.

You can always clean your rug by yourself as there are many benefits to regular rug cleaning. With routine cleaning and basic maintenance, your rug can last for more than 20 years – while looking good all the time.

Here are some do-it-yourself rug cleaning tips that you can follow:

• Rotate your rug periodically for even wear.
• Vacuum on a regular basis. Be careful of fringe and the height of the beater bar. Consider not using the beater bar.
• Use a quality pad or cushion to allow for cleaning and prevent slippage.
• Act quickly before a spill spreads or dries.
