Cleaning Tips:

What you will like mostly about decorating with an discount area rug is that they are very easy to clean, just pick them up and simply shake them out.  Discount or cheap is only about the price not the quality.

If you have a rug pad underneath simply shake that out as well.  Don't beat them this will loosen the fibers and you are liable to tear the under pad, this also applies for foam backed area rugs. They should only be shaken or vacuumed.

To remove stains from a small rugs use a brush or little green machine, don't use a commercial rug cleaner they are too powerful. For expensive collectors rugs like persian or oriental rugs have a professional do the cleaning.

If your area rugs are curling on the corners try this. Find a a peel and stick linoleum floor tile.  Cut the corners of so you have made 4 triangles. Peel the paper off and stick them underneath each corner of the rug. This will stop your corners from curling and won't damage the floor.
