Your area rugs give style and comfort to your home, and with a little care they can look beautiful for years.

Cleaning your area rugs will keep them vibrant and remove allergens. Regular vacuuming is the first step but to keep them looking, feeling and smelling like new, you need to consider regularly scheduled deep-cleaning.  In this post we will share two options and pointers for cleaning area rugs.

If you’re doing the area rug cleaning yourself, the experts at Better Homes & Gardens recommend the following steps:

1. Begin with a thorough vacuuming. If your rug is a delicate or antique one you may have to first put down protective netting to avoid damaging it.

2. Use a stiff brush to remove pet hairs.

3. If the rug is washable, hang it outside and beat it to loosen dirt. Then wash it in warm water on the delicate cycle. You may have to take it to a commercial washing facility to use an extra-large machine.

Be careful when buying rug cleaners. Many spot removal formulas sold in stores can damage the rug’s protective layer and lead to worse staining later.

Michael Hilton, author of the “Carpet Buyers Handbook,” points out that it’s important to select the right cleaning method depending on the fibers used in your area rug. Each type will need a different solvent and different cleaning method. He recommends a yearly professional cleaning to keep area rugs in top shape.

Professional rug cleaning takes away the worry about products and techniques and ensures that your rugs are cleaned the right way every time.

Housekeeping expert Martha Stewart also recommends professional cleaning as the best way to keep area rugs looking their best.
