Edge curling can happen with area rugs because they are usually rolled up before being displayed or during shipping. Thick-pile and tightly woven rugs are more likely to curl.

How to Flatten the Rug

Step 1

Leave it to time. Spread the rug on the floor and let it lye there for about two days to see if it relaxes on its own. If you can, place the rug on a hard floor rather than over another rug or carpet while it relaxes, even if you plan to use it on another rug or carpet once it is wrinkle-free.

Step 2

Try back-rolling the rug. To do so, unroll the rug and then roll it again, this time rolling it in the opposite side. Let the rolled rug sit for a day or two and then unroll it again.

Step 3

Place a piece of furniture or a stack of heavy books on the creases for a few days to flatten them out using weight. If the corners of the rug are curling, curl them backward, flatten them back out and place weights in just the corners of the rug.

Step 4

If your rug still won't lie flat, apply some heat to it. Spread the rug over a clean concrete or asphalt slab such as your driveway on a sunny day. It's best to do this in the afternoon on a 75- to 80-degree F day, giving the surface time to absorb the sun's heat all morning. Usually, one or two hours in the sun is enough to release wrinkles and creases.

If you don't have a large enough patch of sun, flip the rug over and use a hair dryer to heat up the creases of the rug and release them. Always hold the hair dryer 6 to 9 inches away from the rug and use a sweeping motion. It's possible to melt rug fibers, so use a low or medium heat setting and keep the hair dryer moving back and forth at all times.

Step 5

Tape it down. Double-sided rug tape is available in furniture and home improvement stores. Apply this tape to the back of your rug; then remove the paper covering the adhesive and smooth the rug over the floor. Press the tape down firmly, smoothing it as you go. Rug tape works on hard floors and on existing wall-to-wall carpets, holding your rug in place to flatten existing creases and eliminate new ones.

Step 6

If your rug is made with colorfast dye, you may steam the rug to remove the creases. You can also opt to have the rug professionally steamed. When using this method, it is critical to test the rug for colorfastness before you begin.

Step 7

Ask a local rug dealer to stretch the rug for you. Sometimes pulling the rug taut and slowly stretching it will release any wrinkles or creases. This process must be done properly, however, to avoid damaging the rug. It's a job best left to the professionals.

1. Canister vacuums without beater bars are the optimal type of vacuum to use on rugs. Brooms and manual sweepers are also a gentle and effective way to clean rugs.

2. Many of today’s upright vacuums are super high powered. The high suction can pull out the threads from the back of a rug and cause “sprouts.” Use the handheld attachment to vacuum your area rug whenever possible.

3. If you choose not to (or are unable to use) the handheld attachment on your upright vacuum, make sure to turn off the vacuum’s beater bar, as it can pull fibers from the face of the rug and cause the rug to fuzz. If the beater bar cannot be turned off, set it on the highest position possible before vacuuming. Then, carefully place the vacuum on the rug.

4. If the rug has serged (finished) edges, refrain from continuously running the vacuum over the edges, as this will loosen fibers around the edges and cause them to deteriorate.

5. Avoid running the vacuum over the fringes at the ends of the rug as fraying may occur. Use the handheld attachment to clean the fringes.

6. If a rug is reversible, make sure to vacuum both sides. This will remove grit and grime that can prematurely wear out your rug.

1. Clean spills immediately. Once a stain is set, it becomes much more difficult to clean. 

2. Never rub a spill, as this forces the spill deeper into the rug. Instead, blot the stain with a clean white cloth.

3. For wool rugs, use lukewarm water to remove any residual stain, as wool is more prone to bleeding and staining than synthetic fibers.

4. Always use clean water to remove any residual cleaner, and dry towels to absorb any remaining moisture.

1. After putting the rug into the washing machine, add a moderate amount of non-bleaching detergent. (Do not add fabric softener.) Select a delicate cycle program and use cold water. Once these steps are followed, your rug will be clean and good to go with no harm.
2. For the drying process, keep in mind that high heat will damage your rug therefore it is ideal to either set your dryer to low heat or just hang your rug in your backyard and air dry it organically.
3. The time to air-dry your washable rug will differ according to the dimensions of your rug. If you have a normal sized rug then the air-drying process will take approximately one to two days.
4. If your rug is one with high-quality and durability as in the case of our products and if you put these instructions to good use, your rug will not be ruined in color or vibrancy.
5. Which Rug Can Be Washed By Which Size Machine

1. Always use a professional area rug cleaning expert. Cleaning a handmade rug requires a process different than cleaning wall-to-wall carpets.

2. Inspect the rug with a rug cleaning expert prior to cleaning. Get a signed receipt and guarantee of work before the work is performed.
