Q: I have small children and a dog. What sort of rug should I order that is easy to care for and won't stain?

A: Great question. There are so many different types of area rugs to consider that sometimes it can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, we have an entire series of area rugs already sorted out for you to choose from. The great thing is that all these rugs come with a 10 year Family Friendly guarantee. If the rug stains in the first 10 years of use, the manufacturer will repair or replace the item. Now I was skeptical of this offer myself at first, so I bought a Family Friendly area rug that was primarily white and I put it in our warehouse. The traffic going back and forth across it was brutal. The rug became a dingy dark color after six months of use. I then used a household carpet cleaning machine on it-following the instructions for cleaning that Bissell provided.
Nearly all the stains came out...and a few that did not-well I called the manufacturer and found out that you can use a combination of 1/3 bleach to 2/3 water and rub gently....that did the trick-the stain came out--but the color in the rug remained unchanged-even the bright red colors of the rug stayed red-with BLEACH being used. Be sure to use this stain treating option only on area rugs in the "Family Friendly" section of our site, and those that are made of polypropylene.
Until next time, thanks for reading, and keep the questions coming!
