Maintenance Guide

At MickeyMack, we believe that proper care extends the beauty and life of your rug. To help you enjoy lasting comfort and style, we have prepared the following care guidelines.

General Care Guidelines

  • Regular Cleaning: Vacuum your rug weekly to remove dust and prevent dirt buildup. For wool and delicate blends, use a low-suction setting.
  • Rotation: Rotate your rug every 6–12 months to ensure even wear and fading.
  • Sunlight Exposure: Avoid placing rugs in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent discoloration.
  • Furniture Placement: Use rug pads or furniture protectors to reduce pressure marks and extend rug durability.

Spot Cleaning & Stains

  • Immediate Action: Blot spills gently with a clean cloth—do not rub, as it may spread the stain.
  • Mild Cleaning: Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent for small stains. Test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
  • Professional Cleaning: For persistent stains or deep cleaning, we recommend using professional rug cleaning services.

Material-Specific Care

  • Wool Rugs: Naturally resilient, but avoid excessive moisture. Professional cleaning every 12–18 months is advised.
  • Cotton Rugs: Machine washable in most cases, but follow product care labels closely. Air dry only.
  • Polyester Rugs: Stain-resistant and easy to maintain—spot clean with mild solutions.
  • Wool & Silk Blend Rugs: Handle with care; dry cleaning or professional services are highly recommended.
  • Natural Fiber Rugs (e.g., jute, sisal): Avoid water exposure. Use dry cleaning methods such as vacuuming or dry powders.

Storage Guidelines

  • Clean rugs thoroughly before storage.
  • Roll, never fold, to prevent creases.
  • Store in a cool, dry place with a protective cover to prevent dust and insects.
