Cleaning Rag Rugs With Warm Soapy Water And Starch
Small rag rugs should be washed in warm water with rich suds in a tub or washing machine. After rinsing, dip in a light starch solution. Press water out by hand or with a loosely adjustable wringer, then lay flat on paper on a basement or porch floor to dry. The starch adds body and helps keep them flat.
