Rug Cleaning by Vacuuming

One doesn't have to do much for vacuuming the rugs. If possible pick a vacuum cleaner that's adjustable. Shake off the dust on it at first. Remember, not all rugs can be cleaned in the same way by vacuuming. So, know about your rug before doing the job. Set your technique according to that.

For woven rugs use the direction to a perpendicular angle and start vacuuming as vacuuming. Following the direction against both piles can cause damage or make the work tough.

While washing the tufted rugs check for patches or cracks in the rug. Vacuum gently if you notice any of them. Find the pile and go with the brush against it if any resistance is felt.

Vacuuming the flat weave rugs doesn't require any direction for vacuuming. However, you have to vacuum both sides.

For those rugs that are made of fur or sheepskin use a brush to loosen the dirt on them. It would be safe for the antique or older rugs if the vacuum is not done against them.

Vacuuming VS Professional Rug Cleaning

Vacuuming rugs is a convenient way to maintain the rug's quality. It can be done by anyone, anytime which is cost-effective. The ideal interval is once or twice a week. However, for deep cleaning, it would be neither a good idea nor effective. Rather, harm can be occurred to the rugs.

On the other hand, professional cleaning extracts stubborn dirt from the fibers. That not only restores its new look but also retains the indoor air quality by removing odor. Since that also prevents the infestation of pests on the rug's surface, the surrounding environment also remains healthy. This rug cleaning is expensive but not required more than once in 1 or 2 years.
