Your rug has seen things no rug should ever see. Coffee spills at 2 AM. Pets treating it like their personal jungle gym. And let’s not even talk about the wine accident that nobody seems to remember. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to replace your rug every time a disaster strikes. With the right care, you can keep it looking as fresh as the day you unrolled it. Here’s how—
#1 Jute Rugs—The Low-Maintenance Beauties!
Jute rugs are your laid-back friends—they love a little character, but they hate moisture.
✔ Shake it out: Forget vacuuming—just take it outside and give it a good shake.
✔ Dry clean only: Spills? Blot immediately with a dry cloth. Water is your jute rug’s mortal enemy.
✔ Sun therapy: If your jute rug smells musty, let it sunbathe for a few hours.
🚫What NOT to do: Don’t scrub! You’ll unravel the natural fibres faster than you can say “Oops.”

#2 Chenille Rugs—Soft, Luxe, and Pampered
Chenille rugs are the divas of the rug world—gorgeous, soft, but they need a little extra TLC.
✔ Vacuum gently: Use the lowest setting to avoid pulling fibers.
✔ Spot-clean with care: Mild detergent + warm water + blotting = your best bet.
✔ Hand-wash when needed: A gentle hand wash with cold water and mild detergent helps preserve its softness.
✔ Flip it regularly: Keep wear and tear even by rotating your rug every few months.
🚫 What NOT to do: Never drench it in water—its velvety charm will be a thing of the past.
💡 Want a rug that’s as soft as it is stunning? TROOST’s chenille rugs are designed for luxurious comfort and easy maintenance.
#3 Wool Rugs—The Stain-Resistant Champs
If rugs had a VIP section, wool rugs would be in it. They’re naturally stain-resistant, but that doesn’t mean they’re invincible.
✔ Vacuum like a pro: Low suction, no beater bar—wool rugs don’t like rough handling.
✔ Use vinegar for stains: A mix of vinegar and water is a magic potion for removing light stains.
✔ Air it out: Wool absorbs moisture, so let it breathe to prevent musty smells.
🚫 What NOT to do: Avoid steam cleaning—exposing wool to excessive heat can cause it to Shrink
💡 Want a high-quality wool rug? TROOST’s wool rugs are crafted for durability and warmth, adding timeless elegance to your space.
#4 Tufted Rugs—A Little Love Goes a Long Way
Tufted rugs are the Cozy middle ground—not too high-maintenance, but not completely carefree either.
✔ Regular vacuuming: Keeps the fuzzies in check.
✔ Spot-clean stains immediately: A mix of mild soap and water works wonders.
✔ Machine-washable for easy care: Just toss it in when needed—low maintenance, high convenience.
✔ Use a rug pad: Helps prevent slipping and extends the rug’s life.
🚫 What NOT to do: Don’t ignore shedding—it’s normal at first but should reduce over time.
