While carpets and rugs share many features, it is their differences that lead to cleaning concerns. Carpet Cleaning Columbus unequivocally recommends carpet steam cleaning as the best way to clean, disinfect and renew carpets, but with rugs you have to make sure that you choose the appropriate cleaning method for it.

Methods for Cleaning Rugs

• Dry cleaning is only used on rugs that require dry cleaning. Check the care label on your rug.
• If you are unsure of how to clean your rug, professional steam cleaning is the safest bet. This is the method used successfully on most carpet and rug fabrics and fibers.

Machine washing. Some rugs are constructed of machine washable fabric or fibers. Before throwing them into your home washer, make sure that they are also sized for a consumer machine. In addition, it is important that you remove surface dirt and dust before you attempt machine washing at home. Skipping this step may introduce drain clogging matter that your plumbing will find hard to handle. You may find that in trying to save a few dollars by washing them yourself, you will have to spend dealing with the consequences of an overloaded machine.
