Rug Maintenance Tips For Prolonged

Rug Life

Although, rug cleaning is a daunting task, it is quite important to do it as dust and microbes may gather in your rugs causing diseases. Dirty rugs are the source for many respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis. Here are few cost-effective and easy rug cleaning tips!

1. VACUUM

The common mistake that we do is, wash the rug directly without vacuuming the rug first. Vacuuming is very important as it facilitates the cleaning process by eliminating debris and dust. In case, if you wash before vacuuming, loose dust particles will find space for them inside the rug.

2. DO NOT OMIT BRUSHING IF YOU HAVE PETS

Vacuuming may or may not remove the pet hair locked in the rugs. Thus, get rid of the pet hair using a stiff brush.

3. WASH RUGS FREQUENTLY

Most of us wash rugs only when we notice visible stain or dirt. However, for extended rug life it is very important to wash your rug regularly even if the surface looks clean. Initially wash a small area of the rug to check if it is colourfast.

4. USE RIGHT CLEANING AGENTS

Check if the shampoo you are using serves the purpose. Detergents will make your cleaning more tough. This is because, some detergents leave back residue that attracts more dirt. It is always recommended to use manufacturer approved cleaning products specially designed for the rugs.

5. DRY THOROUGHLY

Once you are done with your washing process, dry the rug thoroughly to prevent mildew. You can steam the rugs to chuck out odours. It also refreshes and sanitizes your carpet.

Nowadays, you will find a wide array of modern rugs online, so browse through various rug stores online before finalizing the best rug.
