Take the Time to Unroll Your New Rug!
We understand the eagerness to get your new rug in place, but before you make any quick decisions, take a moment to fully unroll it in its designated room. This simple step can ensure you fall in love with your purchase, just like many of our happy customers!
See true colors: Unrolling the rug completely lets the light play across its entire surface, showcasing the true richness and depth of the colors.
Get the full picture: Unlike peeking at a corner, unrolling reveals the rug's entire pattern and scale, allowing you to appreciate its true beauty and how it interacts with your space.
Texture takes shape: Feeling the rug's texture across its full expanse gives you a better sense of its quality and underfoot comfort.
Second thoughts averted: We often hear from customers who initially felt unsure after seeing a small part of the rug. But once they unroll it, they realize how beautifully it complements their decor and instantly fall in love!
Vacuum With Love

New rugs often spend time tightly rolled up, which can temporarily flatten the fibers and mute the colors.
Vacuuming helps revive your rug's natural beauty in a few simple steps:
Go gentle: To prevent damage, turn off the beater bar on your vacuum cleaner. This rotating brush can be too harsh for delicate rug fibers, causing them to pull loose or break.
Raise the height: Adjust your vacuum to the highest setting suitable for rugs. This ensures proper suction without damaging the pile. Alternatively, use the upholstery attachment designed for gentler cleaning on fabrics.
Vacuum with the grain: Run the vacuum in the direction of the rug's nap (the lay of the fibers). This helps lift dirt effectively without disrupting the natural lay of the fibers.
Looking for a rug-loving vacuum? We know it's not always easy to find the right cleaning tool. That's why we recommend the Soniclean Vacuum. Our team uses it in our showroom, and we're impressed with its gentle yet effective cleaning power.

Rotate And Be Amazed
Ever wonder how a simple switch can make a big difference? Rotating your rug 180 degrees can do just that!
It's all about light: The way light interacts with your rug's fibers impacts its visible colors. By turning it, you change this interaction, revealing hidden depth and nuance. You might even discover surprising color variations throughout the day! Beyond aesthetics: Regularly rotating your rug (every few months) offers additional benefits.
Even wear and tear: Prevents specific areas from getting worn out faster.
Reduced fading: Distributes sun exposure more evenly, mitigating color fading in specific areas.
Fresh and vibrant feel: Keeps your space feeling new and prevents the rug from looking dull in one direction.
So, why not give your rug a spin? You might be surprised by its newfound personality!
