Cleaning a Large Machine-Made Rug In Place

Large rugs are best cleaned where they are. Work in sections and avoid soaking the backing.

• Vacuum thoroughly in multiple directions on both top and (if possible) underside.
• Pre-treat any stains with the appropriate spot-cleaner before deep cleaning.
• Use a carpet/upholstery cleaner or a hot-water extractor with a synthetic-safe detergent.
• Work in overlapping sections; don’t over-wet the rug.
• Ventilate the room and let the rug dry fully (often 12 to 24 h) before walking on it.
