Project Steps
After a long and muddy Minnesota winter this mud room rug needed a good cleaning. Here is a photo of the rug before cleaning.
The SteamMachine with the large brush floor attachment works great for cleaning an area rug. This project took less than 10 minutes.
STEP 1:
Vacuumed the rug really well and shake it outside if temperatures allow.
STEP 2:
Spray oxi clean on the rug in the dirty areas. Let is sit for a few minutes, then run the SteamMachine with the large brush attachment over all areas of the rug. Make sure to attach a cleaning cloth to the large brush.
STEP 3:
Use the SteamMachine to steam all areas of the rug. Typically it takes 3 passes over each area.
STEP 4:
After the steaming is finished, vacuum the area rug again.
Before beginning this project test a small area before cleaning the entire rug. Also consult the rug care instructions.
