With These Methods You Can Make Your Rug Last a Lifetime!

• Vacuum It is ideal to vacuum your rug at least once a week, that is if you're living alone. If you live with your kids, pets, etc, you should

          definitely vacuum more often!

• No Shoes This is very self explanatory. No shoes = no dirt, no wearing out, and no stains.

• Just Beat It If it is small enough to carry, take it outside, hang it, beat the dust out of it every couple of weeks. A tennis racket or baseball bat could do the trick.

• Spice It Up Adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, dried thyme, rosemary or even lavender will give you a natural deodorizer. Mix these spices with a little baking soda for extra strength. After leaving the spices for a couple of minutes, vacuum it up.

• 6-12 Months Your rug will eventually need a deep cleaning. Every 6-12 months is the ideal cleaning schedule for an oriental rug. So bring your rug to the experts at Hernandez Carpet Cleaning and keep it fresh for the next generation to see.
