How to Wash Your Rug
How to train your rug? Oh! Wash, how to wash your rug…
- Start by giving your rug a good ol' fashioned vacuuming to remove all that pesky dirt and debris.
- Check the care label to ensure you're washing your rug correctly. Follow the instructions on the label to avoid any rug-related mishaps.
- Toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent (non-bleaching). Pro tip: consider using a detergent specifically made for rugs or carpets to keep your rug looking fresh and clean. Pleaseeee, don’t add fabric softener!
- If your rug is too big for the washing machine, don't panic! Just wash it by hand in a bathtub or sink using warm water and mild detergent. Gently scrub the rug with a soft brush or sponge, and voila! Clean rug.
- Find a well-ventilated area to lay your rug flat and let it air dry completely. Avoid hanging it over a clothesline or similar structure, as it may stretch or become misshapen. Allow your rug to dry for several hours or even a day or two, depending on its size and thickness.
- Once your rug is completely dry, give it a final vacuum to restore its texture and remove any remaining dirt. And there you have it– a freshly washed and dried rug!
We hope this guide makes the process of washing and drying your machine-washable rug a breeze! If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
