Remove spills promptly. Blot (do not rub) with white paper towels or a clean white cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible. Spong with cold water and blot dry. Professional cleaning is recommended for heavy stains. Vacuum with beater bar off or on the highest pile setting. Use of a rug pad is recommended to keep the rugs from shifting and bunching, and to help prolong the life of the rug and the flooring. Rotate the rug frequently to prevent wear from uneven traffic patterns and fading from direct sunlight.
