How to clean the rug without damaging it?
Your first instinct will be to scrub the rug with soap and water. However, this could be damaging to the fibers of your rug. When you scrub, you're actually injecting particles (or liquids) into the fibers of the rug, doing more harm than good. In fact, this tactic can actually cause more stains.
To get unwanted particles and liquids out of diverse carpet fibers, you'll need to attack the source with the right equipment and solutions.
It's also important to know what fabric your rug is made of, because certain brands and materials need different cleaning techniques to avoid damage. Talk to professionals about keeping your rug in the best condition possible.
