How To Maintain Clean And Beautiful Rugs?
Saturday, February 18th, 2012A house speaks a lot about its residents. People spend a huge portion of their hard earned money to buy beautiful and pricey rugs to make their homes look great. A house with cleaner rugs and tiles gives a better impression to the visitors than one with dirty rugs.
People feel repelled by the sight of dirty rugs and they perceive your life style to be an unhygienic one. That’s not the kind of impression you would like your visitors to have for you. Cleaner rugs give a majestic touch to your house. So here are some tips for maintaining clean rugs.

Rug cleaning
Rugs generally get dirty due to mud tracks brought in by your pets, visitors and at times by you.
Removing mud tracks is not as tough as rocket science but nor is it a simple job. While tile cleaning is an easier task as the mud can be removed easily with plain water, special care should be taken while cleaning rugs.
Here are few steps for cleaning mud tracks
- Do not touch the wet mud tracks, instead wait for them to dry and harden completely. A wet mud track can deteriorate your rugs further when you act upon them while they are still wet.
- When it is hardened, use a blunt knife to peel off the mud.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt particles left after removing hardened mud.
- Apply a mixture of one-teaspoon of non-bleach laundry detergent and one cup of warm water on the stained area.
Wait for a few minutes and then blot the area using a clean white cloth. You can get rid of the stain by repeating the blotting process several times.Dry the stain using a vacuum cleaner.
Professional help can also be taken for rug cleaning. Do whatever it takes to keep them clean as once they get damaged there is no way of getting them back. Regular care preserves its shine and color. Your rug will look new for longer time and please you always.
