Is rug shedding par for the course?
You betcha!
Rug shedding is like that new puppy that's super adorable but leaves a trail of fur wherever it goes. But don't fret; it's totally normal and part of the rug's settling-in process. When a rug is freshly made, those loose fibres just wanna break free and say, "Hello, world!" So, they tend to shed a bit, kinda like a cozy shedding party. Over time, as you give it some love and vacuuming, the shedding will calm down, and your rug will find its groove. So, embrace the fluff, let it do its thing, and soon enough, you'll have a rug that's shedding less and snuggling more. Sure proper care and instruction-following will also help ameliorate the shedding.
Is it okay to use a vacuum cleaner on a new Rugitall rug?
Absolutely, your new rug deserves some TLC, and a vacuum cleaner is its best buddy. But before you go all trigger-happy, make sure your rug can handle the suction power. Check the label or manufacturer's instructions to see if it's vacuum-friendly. If it gives you the green light, as Rugitall does, start with a low suction setting and gently glide the vacuum over the rug, just like giving it a little massage.
Remember to flip the rug occasionally to even out the wear and tear. If you've got a shaggy rug, use a vacuum with a brush attachment to get those cozy fibres clean. And hey, if your rug sheds a bit at first, don't freak out. It's just the rug settling in and making itself at home like what is mentioned above. Vacuuming helps it fluff up and shed less in the long run. So go ahead, get that vacuum dance going, and keep your rug looking fresh and good.
Can I use a rug on hardwood or laminate flooring?
No problem, rugs and hardwood or laminate flooring are like peanut butter and jelly-perfect together. In fact, rugs are the superhero sidekick to your beautiful flooring.

Just make sure to use a rug pad underneath to prevent any slipping and sliding action. Rug pads are like the trusty sidekicks to your sidekick-they keep everything in place and add an extra layer of cushioning.

How do I deal with rug allergies or sensitivities?
Ah, pesky rug allergies and sensitivities can really rain on your cozy parade. But there are ways to tackle those sniffles and sneezes.
First off, opt for rugs made from hypoallergenic materials like natural fibres (think cotton or wool) or synthetic fibres, like Rugitall's special mix of cotton and polyester. These materials are less likely to trigger allergies. Next, give your rug a good vacuuming on the regular to keep dust, dander, and other allergens at bay. If you're still feeling the itch, consider using an air purifier in the room to filter out any airborne allergens.
If all else fails, you can rock the minimalist vibe and go rug-less in certain areas of your home. Sometimes less is more when it comes to allergies. Remember, you're the boss of your space, and you shouldn't let pesky allergies cramp your style. Breathe easy and find that rug that won't make your nose go haywire.

How often should I replace my rug?
That is a great question about dealing with the circle of rug life. While rugs are built to withstand the test of time, they're not immortal, my friend. The lifespan of a rug depends on factors like the quality of materials, foot traffic, and your rug care game. As a general rule of thumb, Rugitall recommends replacing your rug every 1-2 years. When it comes to the frequency of replacing rugs, whether they are machine washable or not, the factors to consider are generally the same. The lifespan of a rug depends on various factors such as quality, usage, maintenance, and wear and tear.
Of course, if you've got a rug that's been through the wars and looks more like a patchwork quilt, it might be time to bid it farewell sooner. Keep an eye out for signs of wear and tear, like faded colours, frayed edges, or thinning fibres. These are clues that your rug might be on its last legs. And hey, if you're itching for a style change or just want to freshen up your space, a new rug can work wonders. So, listen to your gut (and your rug) and know when it's time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
