Rug Pad Academy
Luxury Rug Care
Protecting hand-knotted, antique, and high-value rugs with the correct pad and maintenance.
Short answer
Luxury Rug Care
High-value rugs fail first at the unsupported edge and at the foundation, which is why a pad cut to the rug's exact dimensions matters more than any cleaning routine. Dense felt distributes furniture load and lifts the rug above abrasive grit.
