Area rugs only need to be vacuumed once or twice a week, depending on footfall traffic. There are a few steps you can take to protect your rugs:
- Spot clean spills right away to keep them from staining.
- Avoid wearing shoes on rugs to keep outside dirt from being tracked in.
- To absorb odors, lightly sprinkle a little baking soda over the rug and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before vacuuming.
- Rotate the rug every six months for even wear.
