Rugs under normal use should be washed every 18-24 months and be vacuumed every week. If you have a rug in a high use area or an area with pets, consider washing them annually. Rugs, carpets and fabrics act as filters and grab airborne contaminates and hold them in their fibers. When this “filter” gets full, every use of the item gives a puff of these germs and contaminates back into the air. Regular cleaning helps keep the indoor air healthier too.
