- To spot-clean a stain, gently blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth or sponge and a small amount of mild detergent or a water/vinegar mixture. Be sure to test the detergent on a small, inconspicuous area of the rug first to ensure that it doesn't cause any discoloration or damage. Avoid rubbing or brushing the area, as this can damage the wool fibers. Once the stain has been removed, blot the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue, and then allow it to air dry completely before using the rug again.
- Rotating the rug every few months will help distribute the wear and tear more evenly and prevent certain areas from becoming worn or faded.
