Having a rug placed in hallways and stairways can have many practical benefits. It can dampen sound and prevent echoing. It feels nice on the feet especially if the steps hard, cold stone. Overall it decorates the stairway and adds style to your house. There are a few considerations to think about when installing your rug.It’s important that the space where the rug will be place is measured. Exact measurements can ensure that the rug fits right so that there are no raised areas. The rug should fit the length of the steps. It’s useful to invest in a proper underpad. This will protect your rug from mechanical stress cause by foot traffic.
The rug should be made to stay securely in place on your steps. This can be done in several ways. Stair rods are the best option for securing the rug in place. Other methods include gluing the rug into place or stapling. The point is to keep the rug safely in place to prevent accidents and injuries. It’s also dependent on how much foot traffic the stairway receives.
Cleaning your stairway rug doesn’t have to be difficult. Thin synthetic pile rugs are easy to clean. Short pile hinders dust and dirt from getting trapped in your rug. Vacuuming should be done weekly using a vacuum extension piece to corners. Rugs should be sent out annually to a professional rug cleaning service in order to get a thorough cleaning.
Dark coloured rugs are suggested for stairways as they keep dirt from showing. Dirt will accumulate overtime and light coloured rugs will readily show shading and other stains.
