Area Rugs

A good, high-quality area rug is characterized by its knots per square inch, weaving method, and material. Of all the high-quality rugs, hand-knotted wool rugs are considered to be the best.

Medium to heavy area rugs that range between ⅜ and ½ inches will suit a range of needs. Thinner rugs are a tripping hazard and won’t offer enough buffering for the optimal protection of floors.

We suggest picking a rug size from 8×10 feet to 9×12 feet and ensuring that the rug you buy is at least six to eight inches wider than your sofa on all sides. Run the rug the length of the biggest sofa piece and give 30 to 36 inches of walkway between the larger furniture pieces if your space allows for it.

At Sam’s we will help you select the perfect area rug for your room, stairs, or any area that you need.

Carpet Care

Preventative Maintenance
Place walk-off mats placed at doorways prevent a majority of staining and soiling.

Spot and Spill Removal
Pay prompt attention to spills will prevent a stain from setting.

Vacuuming
The most important step in caring for your carpet is vacuuming it thoroughly and frequently.

Carpet in a typical household should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on the number of residents and amount of activity. If carpet is cleaned before it becomes too unsightly, the cleaning chore will be easier and more successful.

Like carpet padding, a high-quality rug pad can:

• Help your rug last longer, even in high traffic areas
• Add extra comfort by giving your rug a richer, thicker, softer feel
• Keep your rug in place on the floor
• Make your home quieter by helping to absorb sound
• Provide extra thermal insulation, making your home warmer
• Keep your rug easy to clean by allowing greater air flow and dirt removal during vacuuming
• Protect the floor beneath the rug from moisture and staining
