How should I clean my rug, and what should I use?

Cleaning

Vacuum rugs regularly on both sides with the suction portion of your vacuum only. You should also clean with water and mild shampoo [neutral PH]. Be sure to clean up spills and dirt right away before it has time to set in and penetrate rug fibers.

For larger rugs, have professionally cleaned. Large, wet rugs will weigh over 100 pounds, making it very difficult to clean and move around.
