TURN YOUR AREA RUG
Turn Your Rug to Prevent Traffic Patterns
We tend to mostly walk along the same pathways in our homes: for example, we take the shortest, most direct route to get from point A to point B, and typically walk down the center of the hallway. This means that certain areas of our carpet or rug get walked on more than others, and therefore, begin to show sign of wear sooner. Minimize this occurrence in area rugs by spinning them 180 degrees every 6 months - the same way you may do with your mattress. Rotating your rug helps to create even wear across the rug, thus reducing the appearance of having traffic lanes across your carpet.
