Rug Maintenance
Washing Rugs
If your rug is small and the label says “ machine washable ,” shake the rug outside first and then put it in the washing machine at the recommended temperature . Use warm water ( 90 to 105 degrees ) and a mild detergent . Tumble your rug dry at the lowest heat setting .
Beating Larger Rugs
Most large area rugs should be professionally cleaned , especially if they are hand-made . Not only are they difficult to handle , but it is nearly impossible to remove all of the dust , pollen , dander , and pollutants by cleaning the rug in your home . Dyes can bleed and fringes can turn brown .
When a large rug is wet , it is extremely heavy , and without the proper equipment , it can take several days to dry . This creates the potential for mold , rot , odors , and permanent damage to the foundation yarns . Call Clean As A Whistle to handle this delicate process for you .
Vacuuming Area Rugs
Area rugs with fringe require a special technique . Use gentle suction and start from the center of the carpet , vacuuming toward the fringe and being careful not to catch the strands in the beater bar . Lift the carpet edge to vacuum beneath the fringe .
Caring for Oriental , Turkish , or Persian Rugs
Clean imported rugs according to your carpet manufacturer ’ s specifications or bring in a professional cleaning service such as Clean As A Whistle . Be gentle with fringe . For heirloom-type rugs , you need professionals .
