Oriental rugs add a touch of luxury and rich color to any home.
Oriental rugs are commonly made from cotton or wool, and they often showcase elaborate and colorful designs. Regardless of the material, Oriental rugs require a delicate cleaning process to prevent damage. The fringe of Oriental rugs builds up dirt and debris from traffic and spills but regular vacuuming and scrubbing can damage the delicate fibers. With the proper technique, you can maintain the color and texture of the fringe on your Oriental rug.
Instructions
1. Vacuum the fringe on the Oriental rug with a brush attachment to remove loose dirt and debris.
2. Place a garbage bag with a towel on top of it underneath the fringe to protect the floor from the cleaner.
3. Mix 1 tbsp. ammonia and 1 cup warm water in a container.
4. Dip a cloth or sponge into the diluted ammonia. Blot the fringe to lift any remaining dirt and debris.
5. Mix 1 tbsp. white vinegar and 1 cup water in a container.
6. Dip a clean cloth into the diluted vinegar. Blot the fringe to rinse away any cleaning residue.
