Address spills promptly by blotting them with a clean, dry sponge or cloth. It's advisable to have the rug professionally cleaned. Using a suitable rug pad on all surfaces is strongly recommended to prevent slipping, add cushioning, and enhance the rug's durability. When vacuuming, use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or set the bar to the highest pile setting if adjustable. If your vacuum offers variable power settings, use the lowest one. Vacuum the full length of the rug, then turn it and proceed to the next section, avoiding back-and-forth movements.
