Time to Rotate That Rug!

Monday February 18, 2008
When was the last time you rotated your rug?

According to the World Floor Covering Association, you should rotate an area rug 180 degrees every now and then to distribute traffic patterns across the surface and to even out fading that might be caused by exposure to the light. The WFCA recommends doing it every few months or at least once a year, depending on the traffic and lighting conditions in the room. To learn more about area rug care (including how to clean up spills or store a rug for an extended period of time) check out their guide to area rug care.
