Prevent furniture dents on rugs.

More often than not we need to place furniture on top of rugs. This can be tables in a living room, desks at the office or the chairs in a waiting room. Most rugs will need to accommodate furniture. This is why measures need to be taken to prevent the furniture from damaging your rugs.

One of the simplest things to do is to invest in the right under pad. A correct under pad will offset mechanical stress from furniture. It also decreases pressure from foot traffic and keeps the rug in place. Take care to match the under pad to the floor conditions.

If it’s possible it’s a good idea to rotate the placement of furniture. Flattened sections should be reset back into the original direction of the pile. This prevents rug pile damage and allows the material to breathe. Annual rug cleaning can also help renew flattened pile.

Rugs should be sent out to a professional rug cleaner once a year. Toronto and the GTA have rug cleaning services to accommodate you. Aside from thoroughly cleaning your rugs, an essential part of the rug cleaning process is resetting the rug pile.

After a deep cleaning the rug pile is set to back to its original position. This makes drying fast and efficient. As the rug pile dries it stays in the correct position. This makes it more resilient to mechanical stress. It also helps preserve the integrity of your rug. You will enjoy rug for many years to come.
