H3: How to Clean and Care for a Doormat

Keeping your doormat clean not only helps it last longer, but also ensures it continues to trap dirt before it enters your home. For regular upkeep, give it a good shake outside or use a stiff brush to remove loose dirt. Most doormats can also be hoovered – just check the care label first. If it’s particularly muddy or has seen a lot of foot traffic, give it a deeper clean by rinsing it with a garden hose and letting it air dry completely before putting it back in place. Always store your doormat somewhere dry if it’s not in use, to prevent mould and mildew.

How to Clean and Care for a Rug

To keep your rug looking its best, regular maintenance is key. Hoover it weekly to remove surface dust and dirt, and don't forget to turn it occasionally to even out wear and sun exposure. For spills, act quickly – blot (don't rub!) with a clean cloth and use a gentle detergent mixed with water if needed. Deep cleaning can be done with a carpet cleaner or by a professional, depending on the material. Always check the care label for specific instructions, especially for natural fibres like wool or jute. Using a rug pad underneath can also help prevent slipping and reduce wear.

How to Style a Rug in the Home

A rug can completely transform a room, adding warmth, texture, and personality. In the living room, choose a rug large enough to anchor your seating area – ideally, it should sit under the front legs of your sofa and chairs. In bedrooms, a rug under the bed with enough border around it creates a soft, cosy feel when you step out in the morning. Don't be afraid to play with colour or pattern to complement your existing décor, or to layer rugs for a more eclectic look. And remember, the right rug can define a space beautifully – especially in open-plan homes.
