Frequently Asked Questions

Rug Information and Care Instructions

 

Should I use a rug pad with my new rug?

 

We recommend using a rug pad with all of our rugs. A rug pad provides extra cushion and support, and also keeps the rug from sliding. Felt pads are best for hardwood floors, and a felt/rubber mix is best for preventing sliding due to high traffic or pets. Here are the rug pads that we recommend. 

 

Will my rug be clean when I receive it?

 

All of our vintage rugs are cleaned and repaired in Morocco or Turkey before we receive them in our Austin store. If there are any noticeable areas of discoloration or damage on our vintage rugs they will be noted and images will be displayed on the product page. The rug will naturally air out and any shedding will settle within a few days of being in your home.

If you have any specific questions please e-mail hello@shopaptf.com. 

How do I keep my rugs clean?

 

We recommend vacuuming on the lowest setting regularly just to remove dirt that may get into your rug. We also recommend flipping rugs over in their place for a week at a time, periodically, for any collected debris to naturally fall out.

 

If you spill something on the rug, try and blot it out immediately with a clean white cloth. Then use a little water on a clean white cloth and blot the stain again. If the stain is still visible on the rug we recommend mixing a little water with a pH neutral soap or white vinegar and trying to blot the spill with that. If that doesn’t work then we recommend taking your rug to a professional rug cleaner.
