Using this Victoria Collection rug is a great way to add a touch of elegance to your home. When it comes to spills, don't panic! Just grab a clean sponge or cloth and blot the spill right away. For a deep - clean, it's best to call in the professionals. Always use a proper rug pad under your rug. It stops the rug from slipping, gives you a softer feel underfoot, and makes the rug last longer. When vacuuming, make sure your vacuum either doesn't have a beater bar or you set it to the highest pile setting. Keep the power on low if your vacuum has adjustable settings. And remember to vacuum the full length of the rug, turn it, and then vacuum the next area, instead of going back and forth. Enjoy your beautiful 0.75 - inch pile height rug!
