Area Rugs require different cleaning than carpets do and, in some cases require special cleaning solutions.

• Cleaning rugs — The back of your area rug should indicate a label that gives cleaning instructions. If your rug says “machine washable you first want to start with getting the loose dirt and debris dislodged from the fibers. Once that is done we recommend taking your rug to a laundry mat that has the larger washing machines. Before you start the washing machine be sure to choose the correct water temperature that is recommended on the tag instructions. When it comes to properly drying make sure to be in tumble your at the setting.
• Dry Cleaning rugs — If your rug has a label that reads dry clean only, your will definitely need the services of a professional dry cleaning company as this usually requires a solvent based cleaning solution. 
• Vacuuming area rugs — Area rugs with white fringe require special cleaning solutions. Use hand held vacuum tools and start from the end of the carpet, vacuuming the entire fringe and being gentle as to not to catch the stands and pull them off the yarn. Make sure yay clean the strands on both sides the fringe.
