Rug Care

Ascend rugs resist flattening due to the very dense yarn structures and high pile weights of every product.

Ascend selects and uses only the best quality wool fibers, thus minimizing the shedding and surface fuzzing often seen when poor and brittle wools are used.

Every Ascend rug is handcrafted from carefully selected soft, fine wools. Ascend’s unique yarn system locks the wool fibers together to create exciting, beautiful textures and exceptional performance. A simple maintenance programme will keep your Ascend wool rug looking as new.

Useful Tips

Vacuuming

Regular and thorough vacuuming is an effective way to remove soil and dirt particles. Do not use a vacuum cleaner with either brushes or beater bars. Avoid usage of modern bagless vacuum cleaners which exert very intense suction. For a shag pile rug, use a plastic rake to raise and realign the pile.

Spot Removal

With stain or spot removal, speed is of the essence. Blot up liquids with paper towels or an absorbent cloth. Scoop up solids with the end of a knife or spoon.

Professional Rug Cleaning

If you have problems removing a spot, consult a professional carpet cleaning company.  If you have further questions concerning your Ascend rug, please consult your carpet retailer.  DO NOT apply any stain repellent treatments as these can accelerate carpet soiling. Steam cleaning is not recommended on your Ascend rug.
