Rug Care & Maintenance Guide

Each rug from BHADOHI CARPETS HOUSE is handcrafted by skilled artisans, designed to last for years. Proper care will ensure it retains its charm and durability. Follow these essential guidelines:

Sunlight Exposure

Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, as it may cause fading of natural dyes over time. Use curtains or place the rug away from strong light sources if possible.

Rug Rotation

Rotate your rug every few months to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas. This helps prevent permanent marks or uneven fading.

Loose Threads

If you notice a loose thread, trim it carefully with scissors. Do not pull, as this may damage the weave and structure of the rug.

Furniture Weight

Place soft furniture pads or protectors under heavy furniture legs to prevent crushing or permanent indentations in the rug pile.

Natural Shedding

Some shedding is normal in handmade rugs, especially during the initial 20-30 days. Regular gentle vacuuming will help manage this.

Spill & Stain Management

Attend to spills immediately. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth—never rub. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure the rug is dried thoroughly to prevent staining or odor.

Traditional Dusting

You may gently beat the rug upside down in an open, outdoor area to remove embedded dust and loose fibers. This traditional method remains effective for occasional deep cleaning.

Vacuuming Guidelines

• Vacuum regularly using low suction.

• Avoid beater brushes or rotary heads.

• Use handheld or canister attachments.

• Do not vacuum over fringes or edges.

Rug Storage

• Roll the rug with the front side facing out.

• Wrap it in cotton cloth (avoid plastic for long-term storage).

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the rug while stored.

Professional Cleaning 

Have your rug professionally cleaned every 2–3 years. Choose a reputable cleaner who performs a pre-inspection and provides a written service guarantee.

Tips for Homes with Pets

Do you have pets at home? You can combat pet odors and stains in many ways:

• Vacuum carpet more frequently to capture pet hair and dander.
• Use CRI Certified Seal of Approval cleaning products that are specifically designed for pet stains and odors.
• Clean up new messes promptly and follow the steps above for spot and stain removal.
• Use small hand extractors for quick cleanups of pet accidents, but remember that these quick clean-ups don’t take the place of periodic deep cleaning.
• Don’t use a steam cleaner when dealing with urine spots because the heat will set the stain and the smell. Instead, extract the spill with a wet vacuum and rinse with cool water to reduce the odor. If necessary, call in a certified carpet cleaning firm that knows how to remove pet stains and odors permanently.
