Rug Size Guides
When it comes time to clean your rug, you may wonder where to start. Cleaning the rug at home with vacuuming, spot cleaning, and deep-cleaning are all common options, but you may not have the time or tools to clean the rug at home. That is why many people seek out dry-cleaners and professionals who can get great results with little hassle.
You can take your rug to a dry cleaner when the rug has stains or general dirt build-up that needs to be addressed. Whether the stains are brand new or have had time to set, professional cleaners can remove those stains and restore the rug to its former glory. With their cleaning methods and specific cleaning detergents, they are able to get a deep clean to remove bacteria and stains from deep within the rug’s surface.
Even in the cases where it’s viable to take a rug to a professional, there are at home methods for cleaning stains and set-in dirt as well. Steam cleaning, power washing, and other deep cleaning methods are just a few solutions that can be done at home and achieve good results.
Not all rugs will react positively to the dry cleaning process, but other rugs may be specifically labeled as “dry clean only” thanks to the nature of the material and how they react to moisture. Fortunately, most rugs are dry cleaner approved, since their method of cleaning doesn’t use water to damage absorbent fibers like jute or sisal. Even rugs that are not moisture absorbent can still be cleaned with dry-cleaning methods.
If you have a highly prized heirloom rug with natural dyes, then it is better to have the rug cleaned by a professional rug cleaner to prevent any running colors or damage. In any case, you should look at your rug tag’s specific care instructions to ensure that you take it to the proper cleaner or use the best at-home cleaning methods on your rug.
