Cleaning a Large Area Rug

RE: Cleaning a Large Area Rug Post By glenda3love. (Guest Post) (11/08/2008) What I do is put it in the bath let it fill with warm water then walk on it. What I do is add soap than walk on it for a few minutes then if you can add some ammonia. Then you will see the dirt come right off. You repeat the step until you see no more dirt. Then hang it to dry. I hope this will help. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning a Large Area Rug Post by Mary Moo (43) | (09/26/2008) Contact Found it! Here's what she had to say: Take your area rugs to the car wash to get them super clean! I have done this numerous times with a helper and a truck, and know others who do the same. It's amazing to see the dirt run out off the rug! Then roll them up and load them onto the back of a truck. At home lay the rugs out to dry on the grass or on a sturdy fence.

If it is a seamed rug, for example, a two or three color rug with borders or designs, or a carved rug, you would not want to beat it as it will break the seams. Either call a professional cleaner or rent a steam cleaner and clean it yourself. Most steam cleaners come with very explicit instructions. Stanley Steamer has always done a professional job in my area and is reasonable in price.

I'd recommend hanging it outside and beating it to get most of the dirt out of it. That's the really old fashioned way. You may be able to clean it with some of that dry carpet cleaner. That works pretty well and will freshen it up. Susan from ThriftyFun Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning a Large Area Rug Post by Katie A.

You sprinkle on the powdered cleaner, work it into the carpet with a brush, let it sit, then vaccum. It does a great job. Good Luck!! Report Spam or Abuse
