Are red rugs safe over radiant floor heating?
Usually yes, but avoid thick pads that trap heat. Use low-profile felt-and-rubber pads and check flooring and rug maker guidelines for max temperatures.
How do I clean a spill on wool red rugs?
Blot immediately with a white towel, then treat with a wool-safe solution and cold water. Work from the spill’s edge inward; never rub, and dry with airflow.

Strong UV can fade red dyes over time. Rotate the rug every 3–6 months and use window shades or UV film; avoid prolonged sun exposure.
