Tips For Cleaning A Rug
Aside from carpeting to clean, many people also have rugs in their homes. Rugs also need cleaning from time to time. Luckily rugs are portable and can be cleaned in more thorough ways that a carpet. If you notice that your rug is dusty or full of grit and debris, you can simply take it outside and shake it out. If you want to go more old school, get a stick and beat the carpet. If that does not suit you, you can always vacuum both sides of the carpet to get out the majority of the dust and debris.
If you decide that your rug needs a more thorough cleaning after vacuuming it, you can wash it with rug shampoo and water. Just treat the rug with water and shampoo or a mild soap. Work in the suds with a laundry brush, but be careful not to over work the brushing. You might end up doing more harm than good. When cleaning the fringe of the rug, brush away from the pile. When you feel you have successfully cleaned the rug, rinse it out with cold water. After rinsing, try to squeeze and work out the water. Some articles have suggested using a rubber squeegee. From there you just need to find a nice sunny spot to lay the rug out to dry. When the first side is dry, flip over the rug and dry the other side.
