By admin | January 24, 2011
Although some may think that rug and carpet cleaning are all the same, with the variety of materials now used there are quite a number of differences in the carpet cleaning procedures we were taught when we were younger. “Organic” or earth friendly carpets are coming into fashion and Jute carpets are but one of a number of new materials now available. Jute is a kind of plant fiber spun into coarse thread for a myriad of uses and one of which is as carpet or rug material. Since it is not synthetic material it is not as hardy as other commercial carpets and will therefore need a slightly different maintenance routine. For correct Jute rug and carpet cleaning the guidelines below need to be followed.
In the case of Jute carpets prevention is the key. Because these organic carpets do not have synthetic materials or chemicals Because excessive cleaning can damage the rug, a homeowner should do everything possible to ensure it remains clean. Vacuum both sides of the rug thoroughly, as well as the floor below the rug. Avoid placing the rugs in high maintenance areas. Place doormats behind all exterior doors of the home to prevent dirt from being tracked through the house and onto the rug.
Stain Removal
Some jute rug cleaning can be accomplished with carpet cleaner or a mild soap and water, but always test the cleaner in an inconspicuous spot to see how the rug will react. Clean out a stain with a sponge or soft-bristled brush, but do not scrub the stain!
Dry Quickly
While cleaning your jute rug, you must work quickly. Dry the rug as quickly as possible when you are done cleaning. Because the rug must dry quickly, it’s best to clean your jute rug on a sunny, breezy day. You can drape the rug over a clothesline or porch railing to dry. This step os one of the most important because excess moisture will cause the rug to deteriorate at a much faster rate.
