National Lumpy Rug Day is an annual celebration held on May 3. Decorating a home with cute little yet colorful things will add a little more beauty and elegance to the living space. Rugs are one among them which have been weaved with different colors, patterns, designs, sizes, and shapes. The manufacturing of rugs varies in every region and culture. Those rugs give us so much comfort on the floor and of course for your cats and dogs. Spring is the best time to clean or wash them, and you can even purchase a new one if they are found to be lumpy. National Lumpy Rug Day gives a good reminder for all of us to replace those old lumpy rugs with soft, smooth rugs to stay comfortable.
“When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.” – Rumi
