When shopping for rugs, there are several things to consider. First and foremost, where is the rug going to go? There are rugs specifically designed for every room in the house, or even outside the house. Outdoor rugs are a great way to add warmth and style to a porch or patio. They may also be used in the garage or an entryway. Kitchen rugs are also manufactured to take extra abuse and continue looking great.
A kitchen rug is a wonderful edition to one of the most popular rooms in any house. Small runners can be strategically placed near the sink or dishwasher to absorb moisture and provide safe footing. Larger area rugs come in myriad styles to complement existing decoration. Country style or theme rugs will add a tawdry, rustic feel to the room. Persian rugs are perfect for those who want something equally gaudy, but more ostentatious in the kitchen.
Bathroom rugs provide safety and comfort in another frequently visited part of the home. Most are made with non-slip backing to ensure proper traction when exiting the tub or shower. Many are impervious to mildew and devised to dry quickly. Bath rug sets typically include a standard rug, a toilet seat cover and a contoured rug to wrap around the pedestal.
Throw rugs are a great way to add a little flair and reduce wear and tear in high traffic areas of the house. Rugs add warmth to flooring such as tile and hardwood. They also add texture and panache to wall-to-wall carpeting or rug carpet. Different types of rugs require different styles of cleaning and maintenance to ensure long, beautiful life spans.
Wool rugs and shag rugs may be impossible to vacuum. It’s a good idea to have them professionally cleaned on occasion. A good beating will keep them fresh between trips to the cleaner. On the other hand, fine oriental and braided rugs should never be beaten. Generally speaking, Oriental rugs can be vacuumed and steam cleaned just like carpet. Braided rugs may also be vacuumed, but often require more spot cleaning. Some can be washed by machine, but it’s a good idea to check for colorfastness first. Use a damp rag or handkerchief to blot a small area of the rug. If colors appear on the rag, the dyes will bleed during washing. When this is the case, standard dry cleaning should suffice.
