Rug Cleaning Procedure

Persian rug cleaning is a project we can easily take on ourselves.

 

1. Gather the Tools and Supplies

One will need the rug shampoo, bucket, soft- bristle brush, or sponge and water to complete a successful area rug cleaning.

 

2. Remove Dirt and Debris

Thoroughly vacuum the rug on both sides to make sure every last bit of debris is gone.

 

3. Mix the Cleaner

When it comes to the actual cleaning solution, we can use a rug shampoo or mild dish detergent mixed in a bucket with warm water.

 

4. Do a Color Test

Before we start scrubbing, make sure the cleaner doesn’t cause the colors to run. Test the solution on the corner of the rug to make sure it is colorfast.

 

5. Wash the Rug

Using a sponge or soft-bristle brush, work the cleaning solution into a lather on the rug.

 

6. Rinse the Rug

Rinse the soap out of the rug using a garden hose or buckets of clean water. Ensure all the cleaning solution is completely removed from the area rug and the runoff water is crystal clear.

 

7. Remove Excess Water

At this point, we want to get rid of as much excess water in the rug as we can so it will dry faster.

 

8. Let the Rug Dry

The next-to-last step to clean an area rug is simply letting it dry. Lay the rug flat and allow the top of the rug to dry completely. Then, flip it over to let the bottom side dry. Fans can help speed up the process. Make sure the rug is fully dry before you return it to the room.

 

9. Vacuum or Brush out the rug

During the cleaning Oriental rugsprocess, threads and fibers can get compacted and squished. Revive them by running a vacuum over the now-dry rug, or brush them with a soft-bristled brush.
