Washing rug at home

Washing a rug at home is really a task. One should keep in mind few things before the rug is being started to wash or clean. Most of the rugs can be clean  by water except those made from natural fibers such as sisal, coir and hemp. One should keep in mind the rug manufacturer instructions.

You need vacuum cleaner,  whisk or beater and clean sponge to clean your rugs.

1- Vacuum the rug thoroughly.

2- Add two capfuls of a mild cleaner such as Woolite to a bucket of cool water.

3- Use a whisk or beater to whip the solution until suds form.

4- Use a clean sponge to spread suds only on the rug, wiping gently to remove dirt. Remember: suds only; don’t saturate the rug.

5- Remove any excess suds immediately using a damp sponge.

6- Lay the rug flat to dry.

Rugs made of natural materials such as sisal, jute and coir should not be cleaned with water. The mositure will ruin the rug’s natural fibers. Instead, vacuum often, and spot clean with a damp white cloth. If the entire rug needs cleaning, call a professional carpet cleaner.
