Care of Rugs and Carpets How They Should Be Cleaned
Gentle, periodic cleaning extends carpet life. Do not beat or line rugs, lay on grass and whip softly, then sweep with ammonia water. Use olive soap wash for wool rugs, wash fringe, and dry in sun. Remove stains immediately with salt and alcohol, or skimmilk and salt. Avoid tea leaves. Use ammonia damp newspapers for sweeping, salt on floors, and borax cloths for heavy carpets. Gall solution can revive faded carpets with two to three yearly treatments.
