How to Determine if Your Rug
Needs a General Cleaning:
|
-
While lifting a corner
of the rug, kick the
back of the rug briskly.
If a cloud of dust flies
out of the pile, the rug
is dirty and needs
cleaning.
-
If your hand becomes
dirty after rubbing the
pile vigorously for five
to ten seconds, the rug
needs cleaning.
-
With the pile facing
you, fold a part of the
rug back on itself so
that the pile opens
along a line of knots.
Look down into the pile
at the foundation of the
rug. If the warp and
weft look dirty, or you
can see dirt deep where
the vacuum can't reach
it, the rug needs
cleaning.

DID
YOU KNOW?
|
You can
remove ink by applying hairspray to the
affected area. After it has dried, clean it
up with a solution of vinegar and water.
To remove wax, cover the
spot with a brown paper bag. Put a clothes
iron, set to minimum, overtop the bag. Allow
the wax to be absorbed into the bag. Repeat
if necessary.
To remove chewing gum, you
need to press ice cubes into the affected
area. Allow the gum to harden to the point
where it is brittle, and break it off. Use a
mild detergent to remove whatever is left of
the spot.
You can remove glue with a
cloth that has been soaked in white vinegar
or alcohol. |
