3 WAYS TO DEEP CLEAN CARPETS 
WAY #1 : VINEGAR

Vinegar is a natural cleaning agent that can effectively remove dirt and odors from your carpet.

Mix equal parts of vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle and spray on the rug. Let it sit for a few minutes and then dry with a fan or let it air dry without walking over it.

WAY #2 : THE WASHER AND DRYER

2. You can put your rug in the washer on cold water and dry on low heat settings. 

You can also use a vacuum cleaner with or without hydro functions to suck out dust and dirt particles.

Spot clean spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

WAY #3 : THE DAMP CLOTH

Use lukewarm water and a cloth to dampen the stain and scrub the stain out gently until it fades.

DISCLAIMERS/EXTENDED CARE

A tufted rug tends to last between 3 and 20 years depending on the user's care.

Tufted rugs tend to shed. You can get the rug professionally cleaned every 12-24 months.

Tufted rugs left wet too long tend to fall apart and the adhesive materials securing the  bottom of the rug are susceptible to mold growth.

Avoid exposing the rug to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Avoid exposure to pets.
