How to clean your persian rug


carpet cleaningYou should have a spot remover kit readily available. Prepare the cleaning materials before any accidents occur, so you are ready for any eventuality. Bottle and label all your cleaning solutions. Your spot remover kit should contain:

-A clean white, absorbent cloth; a sponge, an eyedropper, or a squirt nozzle (not a spray nozzle) to apply the chemical.
-Dry cleaning fluid (non-flammable, such as perchlorethylene). If dry cleaning fluid is unavailable, substitute a paint/oil/grease remover.
-Detergent solution — mix one tsp of neutral powder type of detergent in a 1/2 pint.
-Ammonia solution to neutralize type stains, such as fruit juice (mix one tbs of ammonia to 3/4 cup of water).
-White vinegar solution to neutralize alkaline type stains (mix 1/3 cup of white vinegar with 2/3 cup of water).
-Enzyme detergent (mix one tsp of laundry detergent that specifically states that it contains enzymes with 1/2 pint of water).
-A can of dry ice.


The longer a stain remains in the fabric of your Persian rug, the harder it becomes to remove. Scoop up solid material with a spatula or a spoon. Absorb any excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth, towel or paper towel. To prevent spreading a stain, work from the outside edge of the stain toward its centre. 

Do not use bleach. When cleaning Persian rugs, bleach can remove a lot of stains, but it will also remove the color from your Persian carpet.
