From Summer Sandals to Cozy Socks: Prepare Your Area Rugs for Fall

Nov 1, 2024

Crisp fall air brings a delightful change – cozy socks and boots replace sandals. But for your area rugs, this cozy switch means a battle against dirt. Muddy shoes track in leaves, debris, and moisture, staining and wearing down fibers over time.Here’s how to ensure your area rugs are ready for the blissful embrace of cozy socks all season long:

  • Create a Mudroom Defense: If possible, designate an entryway or mudroom where guests can remove shoes before entering the main living areas. This significantly reduces the amount of dirt and debris tracked onto your area rugs.
  • Employ Entryway Mats: Place a heavy-duty doormat outside and inside your entryway. Encourage everyone to wipe their shoes before entering to remove any loose dirt or debris.
  • Vacuum Regularly:Fall is prime time to step up your vacuuming routine. Aim to vacuum your area rugs at least twice a week, focusing on high-traffic areas like entrances, walkways, and under furniture.
  • Spot Clean Promptly: Don’t let spills and stains linger. Address any spills or accidents immediately with a cleaning solution appropriate for your rug type. This prevents stains from setting in and becoming more difficult to remove.
