Rug care advice from a Chicago carpet manager
A Chicago carpet department manager with a large annual income outlines rug care methods. He recommends laying rugs wrong side up on grass, beating with a furniture beater, brushing lightly or using a carpet sweeper, and airing occasionally to prevent wear from sweeping and beating. For thorough cleaning, send out or wash at home. A machine loosens dust with a strong airstream, and washing with soap and water is safe for dyes. A large rug can be stretched and scoured on a clean floor, then rinsed and dried flat to avoid shrinkage. A small rug can be tacked and scoured on a floor, then rinsed with a hose. Good Housekeeping.
