How to Clean a Rug

Regular maintenance keeps your rug looking fresh. Weekly vacuuming removes surface dirt and prevents it settling into fibres. Spot cleaning - Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. Never rub, as this pushes the stain deeper. Use mild detergent mixed with water for most stains. Deep cleaning - Professional cleaning is recommended every 12-18 months. For washable rugs, follow the care label instructions. Odour removal - Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the rug, leave for 15 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.
