Keeping Your Rug Looking Its Best
Area Rug Care & Maintenance
Custom rugs are built to last, and simple care habits help protect their appearance over time.
- Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris that can wear fibers prematurely
- Adjust vacuum height to avoid damaging edges and bindings
- Use entry mats and remove shoes to reduce tracked-in debris
- Rotate rugs occasionally to distribute wear evenly
Dealing With Area Rug Spills & Stains
Quick action helps prevent permanent staining.

- Vacuum solid messes promptly
- Consult manufacturer-approved cleaners or our team for tougher stains
The Right Foundation Matters
Why Area Rug Pads Make a Difference

- Available in rolls or pre-cut sizes

Mike and his team were a pleasure to work with. He showed me options that fit within my budget. The gentlemen that installed the my flooring were professional and cleaned up after themselves. They showed so much pride in their work. My flooring looks great! If you are in need of flooring, countertops, or tile backsplashes give Mid Michigan Floor Coverings a call. You will not regret it!

They were great all the way around in installing our new tile shower. From walking us through the options on tile, grout and trim, to on site evaluation, plumbing coordination and the installation which went just as planned and finished ahead of schedule. Great people to work with.
Bill Kepler
We purchased carpet for our basement and flooring for the entrance and 1/2 bath in the basement. Working with Madison and Mike was great. We will do more with them next year. It's great to find someone local who does you right.
Tim Marsh
Working with a locally owned company is important to me. Mike and the whole team made the process very easy. Buying a Michigan made product is right there also. Flooring is awesome! Installers were exceptional, Don and Ron are true craftsmen!
Area Rugs & Runners FAQs
Can you turn any carpet into an area rug or runner?
In most cases, yes. Many carpet styles can be fabricated into custom rugs or runners with proper finishing.
What’s the difference between binding and serging?
Binding uses a fabric edge for a clean, durable finish, while serging wraps yarn around the edge for a more decorative look. Our team can help you choose based on style and use.
Are custom area rugs more expensive than pre-made rugs?
Not always. Custom rugs can be surprisingly affordable, especially when using carpet remnants or selecting specific sizes.
Do I need a rug pad under my custom rug or runner?
Yes. Rug pads help prevent movement, protect your flooring, and extend the life of your rug.
Can you create custom stair runners from carpet?
Yes. Many carpet styles can be fabricated into custom stair runners. Our team helps select the right carpet, sizing, and edge finish so the runner fits your staircase properly and holds up to daily use.
What edge finishes are available for stair runners?
Stair runners can be finished with binding or decorative serging, depending on the look you prefer and how the runner will be used. We’ll walk you through the options and recommend what works best for your staircase and lifestyle.
