Keeping your natural fibre flooring looking pristine is easier than you think! Swift action is your best defence against pesky stains. Here's a straightforward guide on how to handle those spills and accidents.
Tackling Solid Mishaps
When food or mud lands on your rug:
Gentle Removal: Use a suitable tool to gently lift off the solid bits without being too forceful.
Light Cleaning: Dab the area with water, a mild detergent, and a sponge. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
Proper Drying: Follow the liquid spill drying tips below to ensure thorough drying. This is the most important step!
Handling Liquid Spills
Spilled a drink or sauce? No worries, here’s how to save the day:
Act Fast: Quickly blot or vacuum up the spill with a towel.
Foot Press Blotting: Place a towel over the spill and press firmly with your feet to absorb as much moisture as possible. If it is a large spill use a hair dryer to absorb the liquid (but don't get too close to the material as it could burn it)
Tailored Treatments:
Mild Spills: Sponge with water, dry with a towel, and let it air dry.
Medium Spills: Use gentle detergents and a soft brush, working from the outer edges inward to avoid spreading.
For larger spills or persistent stains, consider professional cleaning to ensure thorough removal without damaging the rug fibres.
