Don’t forget to swap them out every week because they will get moldy😳

Here’s a tip: oushak rugs are my go to for high traffic areas because their beautiful patterns and muted colors camouflage spills.

They come in so many varieties but key features are wide scale patterns and pastel colors.

Also idk why I was extra sultry in this ☝️

Here’s a tip. If you don’t want your pet to p*e on the carpet then don’t get a pet!

The best way to keep rugs and furniture free and clear of pet urine and hair is simply not to have them! But if you insist then definitely opt for 100% wool rugs. They are the easiest to clean and made of natural fibers.

Here’s a tip: inspect furniture 🧐🪑 deliveries for cracks, scratches and breaks while the delivery team is still there! You can refuse the delivery or document the damage immediately for a return or full refund. Sometimes they will tell you to keep it an toss it because it costs them more to bring it back! 😘
