Hand Washing Area Rugs

Cleaning handmade or machine made area rugs is a laborious task but is crucial to the care and maintenance of any rug. When done properly the rug will last longer and look better for years to follow. Just because an area rug or carpet looks clean from the surface, most likely dust particles, dander, dirt, etc resides in the pile or foundation of the rug that has built up or accumulated over time where it is trapped. These foreign contaminants need to be removed correctly by a good thorough hand washing.
