How to Clean Oriental Rugs?
Cleaning rugs can be a difficult process, especially for rugs that have been stained. This process is further complicated when cleaning a fancier type of rug, especially if it is an Oriental rug. Oriental rugs are very easy to damage, so it is entirely possible to do more harm than good when cleaning an Oriental rug. Follow these steps to clean off your Oriental rug without ruining it. If possible, you should try to prevent getting an Oriental rug dirty in the first place. To protect your rug, do not walk on them in outdoor shoes. This will keep dirt from being tracked in all over the rug. Before attempting to clean your Oriental rug, you should be sure that it truly is in need of a cleaning. It is important to not wash Oriental rugs too often, because the process is hard on the rugs. In general, you’ll want to wash your rug once a year or once every other year. To check if your rug needs to be cleaned, lift it up and either shake it or kick the back of the rug. If a massive cloud of dust and dirt flies out from the rug, it is ready for a cleaning. Some dust can be expected to leave the rug no matter what, but this doesn’t necessarily signify that it is time for a cleaning. Once you have judged your rug to be in need of a thorough cleaning, you should begin by vacuuming both sides of the rug. Then, hang it up and beat it vigorously until all dust and dirt has been removed. Using a mild rug shampoo and cold water, shampoo the rug gently. Use a soft brush to lightly scrub the rug and clean out the fringe. Once the entire surface of the rug has been cleaned, rinse it off using cold water from a hose. You should rinse the rug out thoroughly so that there isn’t any remaining rug shampoo. Squeeze out any excess water with a squeegee and lay the rug flat to dry. Applying water and white vinegar to spots is an easy way to remove stains from an Oriental rug.
