Removing Stains From Rug

As soon as you notice stains or spots on your rug, try as much as possible to clean it up. When cleaning a rug do not use carpet shampoos because are usually made for synthetic wall to wall carpet

Blot the spillage and remove any solid debris by scraping. To blot the spillage, use a clean white 100% cotton dry towel. Press down very hard from the outside towards the middle. Repeat this, turning the folded towel over and over until you have absorbed as much moisture as possible. When you blot the spot move the towel in straight lines. Do not rub in a circle, as this can damage the fibers and construction of the rug

Stain treatment and removal is highly dependent on the kind of spillage or stain. More complicated or serious stains require some chemical intervention, normally in the form of a mild acid to remove the dyes staining the rug, a light detergent to remove any debris and disinfect, and ammonia in non-wool rugs to the same effect.

Do not use hot water on spills that are of perishable items instead, blot with a sponge, and treat with three parts acid, one part mild detergent, and one part water. If the rug is not wool, add a part of ammonia for disinfecting and cleaning.

A fan should be used to dry a washed rug. The area should be exposed to the air stream to aid in evaporating moisture. Do not allow the rug to dry in the open sun, as photo-bleaching can ruin the colors in the rug and cause degradation of fibers. Do not allow the rug to dry on the floor, and major water damage, again, is cause for seeking professional help.
