Attend to spills promptly by patting with a dry, clean sponge or cloth. It is advisable to use a suitable rug underlay on any type of flooring to avoid sliding, enhance comfort, and prolong lifespan. When you vacuum, opt for a model without a beater bar or adjust the bar to the maximum pile height. If your vacuum has multiple power options, choose the lowest setting. Run the vacuum along the entire length of the rug and then turn to continue to the adjacent section, instead of moving back and forth.
