Using area rugs over wall-to-wall carpet is a common design choice. When doing so, prioritize rugs that are colorfast to prevent dye transfer onto your carpet. Periodically remove the area rugs to vacuum the carpet underneath, ensuring that dirt and abrasive particles do not settle and cause wear. If using a rug pad, select a product specifically designed for use over carpet to prevent sliding and ensure air circulation between the rug and the flooring.

Can I use area rugs over Shaw ANSO Nylon Carpet?
Yes, area rugs can be placed over Shaw ANSO Nylon Carpet. Ensure the rug backing is non-staining and breathable. Avoid rugs with rubber or plastic backings if they can trap moisture, which might affect the carpet pile or the under-pad over an extended period.
