Vacuuming is your area rug's best friend when done correctly.
To remove the maximum amount of dirt from your area rug turn the rug upside down and vacuum the back of your area rug first, this vibrates the dry soil to the top of the fibers. Using a rotating/ beater bar type of vacuum cleaner works the best.
For Wool area rugs it is best to use suction only to vacuum your area rug. A rotating/ beater bar vacuum can remove the finer fibers and make your area rug fibers wear away faster.
For Synthetic rugs it is okay to use a rotating/ beater bar on the top and back of the area rug. The fibers of a Synthetic rug don't shed like a wool rug.
To vacuum the fringes either use suction only or vacuum side to side across the area rug instead of lengthwise. The fringes are less likely to get sucked into the vacuum.
Vacuuming your area rugs once a week and doing a front and back vacuuming at least once a month extends the life of your area rug.

Stephen "Dusty" Roberts started his cleaning career by doing in home carpet cleaning with the family business, Dri-Way. In 1986 he branched off and started Lug-A-Rug, Victoria's first in-studio area rug washing spa. Steve learned all he could about area rugs and their specific cleaning needs, an education which still continues today.
Dusty travels the world for the rug industry and speaks at many industry events and conventions. He is one of the most qualified cleaners in Canada, and has been certified by the Oriental rug cleaning company in DallasTexas as well as completing the rug cleaning program with the National Institute of Rug Cleaners(NIRC) and the International Institute of Carpet and Restorations Cleaners (IICRC).
The face of Lug-A-Rug was Luggie, who spent most of his time waving to Victoria's drivers on Blanshard St. in Victoria, BC. Late 2003 Luggie made the decision to retire after seven years, so in January of 2004 Lug-A-Rug became Luv-A-Rug.
Luv-A-Rug cleans all fiber types, sizes and values of area rugs. No rug is too small. For heavy rugs or many rugs we offer free pick and delivery to most communities on the lower Vancouver Island. Courier pick up and delivery is available for most of Vancouver Island and Saltspring Island.
At Luv-a-rug we match your rug to the safest and most effective cleaning process and clean it individually. We NEVER clean your rug in a tub with other people's area rugs and cause your rugs to bleed or become contaminated.
Our cleaning prices depend on the fiber type of the rug, the size and the construction of the rug (hand knotted, machine made, hand tufted).
