You’ve made a wise investment with your Colonial Mills braided area rug, and following these simple cleaning tips* will help extend the life of your rug.
How to Clean a Braided Rug and Accessories
At Colonial Mills, we recommend taking these steps when cleaning our braided home furnishings:
- Retain the beauty and durability of your braided rug by regularly vacuuming with the hard surface attachment. Do not use the beater brush attachment which may damage the rug.
- Spot clean braided rugs, storage and accessories with mild soap and water.
- Indoor Outdoor storage, accessories and braided rugs may be hosed off to clean.
- Small accessory items may be machine washed in cold water and laid flat to dry.
- We recommend periodic professional dry cleaning for braided rugs.
Braided Rug Maintenance
Keep your braided rugs as good as new with these useful tips:
- You can simply sew a rug back together with a needle and strong thread if the threads holding the braids loosen or break.
- Trim, never pull, loose ends.
- What may appear to be an irregularity in color or construction is actually part of the homespun look.
- Colonial Mills braided rugs can be reversed for twice the wear.
Floor Padding
- Floor padding is strongly recommended to prevent yarn color dye transfer and provide comfort, safety, and durability. Learn more about our Eco-StayTM floor pads.
