Q: How do I care for the new rug I purchased from Scout?
A: Regular vacuuming at the proper setting is key to extending the life and beauty of your rug. Refer to your vacuum manual for setting guidance. Avoid vacuuming the fringe of your rug and use a broom instead. Remove spills immediately by blotting with a clean, undyed towel; do not scrub. For hard-to-remove stains, we recommend having your rug cleaned by a professional. Harsh chemicals can damage or fade rugs. Use rug protectors under heavy furniture to protect the rug pile. Rotating your rug every few months can also help relieve areas from excessive wear.

Q: Do you have care instructions for your upholstery products?
A: We recommend spot cleaning your fabric only. Professional cleaning is recommended for tough stains. For metal: wipe metal with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners (including ammonia-based glass cleaners) and abrasives as they will damage the finish.
