Polyester Rugs FAQs

How often should I vacuum a polyester rug?

Vacuuming your polyester rug on a regular basis is a must. In fact, vacuuming is your rug's first line of defence against common signs of wear and tear. Overall, you want to vacuum your polyester rugs at least once a week. Vacuuming a carpet has more than one purpose though. Firstly, it will remove any dust and debris from the carpet. In addition to that, it also fluffs up your carpet again. Since the carpet can be crushed by regular foot traffic, vacuuming it will ensure it does not have that pressed down look old carpets get. Some carpets can accumulate a layer of oil over time as well. Vacuuming regularly can remove this oily layer and prevent it from affecting the colours and the design of your polyester carpet.

How do I prevent common types of damage to polyester rugs?

In addition to regular vacuum cleaning, there are some other things you can do to keep your polyester rug clean and pristine. This includes:

• Don't place your rug in sunlight: When you place your rug inside your home, make sure you don't place it in direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause the colours of the fabric fibres to fade, which will make your carpet look much older than it is over time. So, make sure you choose a strategic place for your rug.
• Move furniture regularly: If furniture is not moved from time to time, it can leave a lasting indentation in the rug. So, make sure you move furniture at least once a month to prevent permanent damage to the carpet. If you are worried about ripping the carpet, make sure to add some gliders on the base of the furniture - this will prevent the rug from ripping as you move the furniture.
• Clean stains immediately: One of the biggest causes of premature damage to carpets is staining. While stains can occur, even if you are being extra careful, it is important to deal with them appropriately to avoid permanent damage to the polyester rug. In other words, clean stains as soon as possible.
• Blot stains: When you clean a stain from a polyester rug, never rub the stain to remove it. Instead, blot the stain as much as you can. If any staining remains after blotting, make sure you use the appropriate rug cleaning product.
• Use the right cleaning products: There are various products you can use to clean a polyester rug. However, even when a product is labelled as safe for cleaning polyester rugs, we always recommend testing the product in an inconspicuous spot. When the spot check comes back clear, you can safely apply the product to the stain to clean it.

How to style polyester rugs in your home?

When styling a rug in your home, choose the right colour and size for your space. For a minimalist look, choose a plain rug in more neutral colours, for a statement piece, opt for a coloured or patterned rug. Rugs can be styled under furniture, with other furnishings like cushions and throws, or you can try layering rugs for a unique look.
