• For spills, blot the affected area with white paper towels or a clean white terry cloth towel. Moisture will weaken the fiber, and rubbing could then cause breaking or damage.

• Once the stained area is dry, re-brush the fiber to regain original texture.

• Rug pads are recommended for use with all rugs to help extend the rug's life and protect the surface underneath.
