For routine care, vacuum thoroughly and frequently, especially in high-traffic areas, preferably with a canister vacuum without beater bars.

Keep the vacuum off any fringe. Blot liquid spills promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing. For stains, gently apply only the foam from a mixture of water, white vinegar and mild detergent, then absorb the residue with a clean cloth. Professional cleaning is recommended for difficult stains. The supplied care guidance also covers particular rug materials.

Viscose is a cellulose-derived fiber sometimes called artificial silk; it has a silk-like feel, blends with other fibers and holds vivid dyes, but needs careful cleaning. For 100 percent viscose rugs, use a carpet sweeper regularly. If vacuuming, use low power and disengage or raise the beater bars. Blot stains with a clean, damp cloth and use a mild cleanser when needed.

For tough stains, use the foam mixture described above, wipe away residue with a clean damp cloth, and apply a small amount of fabric softener to help preserve softness. New wool rugs may shed; a rug pad can reduce friction. Vacuum a new wool rug 1-2 times a week for the first few weeks on low pressure, without beater bars and in the direction of the pile.

Shedding generally diminishes within 4 to 6 months or less. Clip loose ends or stray loops with scissors rather than pulling them. Shipping creases usually settle; reverse rolling can help. Use protectors beneath heavy furniture to avoid flattening the pile. To limit fading, keep the rug out of direct sunlight or shade it with curtains, blinds or UV-blocking window treatments.

The supplied guidance for indoor-outdoor rugs says to follow the rug label, sweep and vacuum frequently, blot spills without rubbing, and sponge remaining stains with a little cold water. For periodic cleaning, sweep, vacuum and rinse with a garden hose, then dry over a railing in sunlight, turning the rug so both sides dry.

Indoor-outdoor rugs are made with synthetic materials intended to withstand traffic, dirt, spills and outdoor conditions, though they still need regular care.
