Creative Accents manufactures fine handmade area rugs in the United States using both high quality wool and nylon yarn. The suggestions wich follow for keeping your area rug looking beautiful apply whether your rug is made from nylon or wool face yarn.

First of all, we cannot overstress the wisdom of a regular cleaning program. If you wait until the soiling is noticeable the dirt may have worked its way from the surface down to the base of the rug where it will be harder to remove. For light to medium traffic areas, proper vacuuming once a day for places which receive high traffic will help reduce soiling and keep your area rugs looking like new.

Vaccuum Tips: Short cut pile & loop pile area rugs

-Adjust the beater bar so it is rotating when in contact with the area rug. A worn belt will reduce the vacuum's effectiveness, so make sure the belt is fairly new.

-Adjust the height of the beater bar so that it lightly touches the pile of the area rug without slowing the vacumm motor down

-Check the vacuum bag often. Vacuums clean less efficiently when the bag is over half full

"How on earth do you clean that?"
FX, LX & LFX Long Pile

-FX Series, 2 to 4 inch pile
Use a standard vacuum cleaner with the rotor off. If space permits, remove everything from the rug service and turn the area rug upside down. Giving each corner a good shake does wonders to freshen up the look of our long pile rugs

-LX, LFX Series, 4 to 6 inch pile
You must use a vacuum attachment to clean these area rugs. A shop vacuum works well as does the shaking method described above.
