The Winter & Area Rugs:

During the winter months, area rugs can trap dirt, salt, and moisture from snow-covered shoes, leading to stains and damage. To protect your rugs, place a sturdy doormat at entryways and encourage guests to remove their shoes. Vacuum your rugs more frequently to prevent dirt buildup, and use a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to spot-clean any salt stains. If your rug gets damp, dry it immediately by blotting with a towel and allowing airflow to prevent mold and mildew. Consider rotating your rug periodically to ensure even wear throughout the season!
