Washing rugs takes skilled hands and keen eyes. You need to understand the textiles you are washing, while you determine the best ways to get to the best result – for the rug and for the rug’s owner.

The right type of pad underneath your rug provides many benefits from keeping it from slipping on the floor or buckling, to acting as a “shock absorber” for foot traffic to lessen the wear on the rug’s fibers.

Blatchford’s offers a number of rug care tips and tricks that address topics ranging from the proper rug pad to purchase, rugs on carpet, to proper techniques for wrapping and preparing your rugs for storage.
