Signs it is time for a new rug
Although manufacturing and materials have improved over the years, rugs have a lifespan. Area rugs, runners, outdoor rugs, and other rugs do not last forever. There will come a time when you need to decide if it is time to choose a new rug because the old one is past its prime.
Signs it is time for a new rug include:
- Stains: Some stains simply cannot be washed or removed
- Odors: Mold, mildew, and other elements can cause rugs to carry unpleasant odors and smells
- Wear and tear: Rugs in high traffic areas, outdoor rugs, and older area rugs can wear down over time, tear, and people permanently damaged
Quality rugs, like those in our Modern Collection, are made from synthetic materials and can last longer, are stain and odor resistant, and can stand up to heavy foot traffic. Proper rug care, including rug cleaning with products like our UNI-Cleaner Rug & Fabric Cleaner will also help extend your rug’s lifespan.
