Cleaning Tips For Rugs & Carpets

Rugs need special care to ensure long life preservation.

Vacuuming:
By frequently vacuuming, you can prevent soils from building up. Vacuums with good suction are recommended to lift surface dirt. Before removing surface dirt it is necessary to agitate the pile to loosen the dirt which may have sunk to the core. A vacuum with a beater or brush bar can better lift the residue embedded in the rug

Cleaning:
Oily substances deposited on the rug cause matting as piles get stuck together that lead to formation of ridges and the colors dim. If not removed immediately, it becomes hard to clean. Always use clean clothes or paper towels, warm water and a suitable cleaning substance (see table). To avoid altering the rug's texture does not rub as fuzziness may result.

Removing Stains:
Basic cleaning steps for typical everyday stains:
1. Scoop up or blot as much of the spill as possible
2. Absorb as much of the liquid that's left with a dry cloth/paper towel by blotting.
3. Apply warm water to the stain then blot again If the stain remains visible, mix warm water with a mild non-bleach laundry detergent. Using a clean cloth apply some of the mixture to the stain and let it soak for 5 minutes. Rinse the stain with warm water and blot it well to extract the residue. Repeat until there is no detergent on the rug.
When satisfied and the rug is completely dry, vacuum the area.
