PROFESSIONAL CLEANING When evaluating the services of a professional company, you should always ask about the company’s experience with outdoor hand-tufting tapestries and knowledge of the cleaning and reconditioning requirements of this type of rug.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended to clean the entire surface of the rug to avoid stains and water marks along it. We advise turning the rug 180º at regular intervals to prevent marks from furniture positioned over it. It is advisable to keep the rug in a sheltered place when it is not being used. For greater durability of the rug / floor we strongly recommend the purchase and use of an underlay.
