The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Rugs

Cleaning rugs can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. With the right tools and techniques, you can easily keep your rugs looking like new. Whether you're washing a rug in the washing machine or hand washing it, this guide will show you the best way to clean your rugs. First, vacuum the carpet thoroughly on both sides.

This will help remove any dirt and debris that may be embedded in the fibers. If you have any stains, treat them with a pretreatment or dish soap before vacuuming. If your rug is machine washable, you can use a carpet shampoo like Bissell to get it clean. Vacuum or brush the carpet to remove any excess dirt before putting it in the machine.

Add a mild laundry detergent and choose a delicate, cold cycle. Once the cycle is complete, shake the rug outside to remove any excess water and then hang it outdoors to dry. If your rug isn't machine washable, you'll need to hand wash it. Start by filling a bathtub or large basin with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

Submerge the rug in the water and gently agitate it with your hands or a soft brush. Rinse the rug with clean water and then hang it outdoors to dry. No matter which method you use, make sure to follow the care instructions on the label of your rug. This will help ensure that your rug stays looking its best for years to come.
