Isn’t the snow pretty? It is until it melts into a dirty puddle and you track the dirt and debris into your home.
It’s easy for family members (especially guests, children and pets) to track the outdoor ick into your home – via their foot-soles – bringing dirt and mud across the threshold.
To keep your rugs looking like new, spot treat the dirt and mud marks immediately with the following method.
Apply a small spot of mild liquid detergent to mud/dirt spot.
Blot stain with a dry, white cloth.
Flood area with white vinegar.
Blot again with cloth.
Repeat step #1.
Repeat step #2.
Flood area with water.
Blot one last time.
To kick off the upcoming indoor season of winter with a clean start, consider having your carpets and area rugs professionally cleaned. We recommend having them cleaned every 1-2 years depending on traffic and pets.
