Care and Cleaning There are different ways to clean a rug, depending on the fiber it is made up of. Always follow the care instructions that come with a rug. The following tips may not apply to all rugs. THE BLUEPRINT WOOL SILK VISCOSE New wool rugs will usually shed. Vacuum at least once a week without the beater bar. Use a common mild detergent with a teaspoon of neutral detergent and a teaspoon of white vinegar mixed in a quart of warm water to clean any liquid stains. Silk rugs should be professionally cleaned to ensure the delicate fibers are properly cared for. To prevent UV damage, avoid placing the rug in direct sunlight, and regularly vacuum it with a brushless suction head to remove dirt and debris, ensuring that you disable the beater bar first before vacuuming. If you must, use a gentle, clear, acid-based detergent safe for silk fibers and test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first. Rugs made of viscose should be professionally cleaned. Between cleanings use a spot cleaner that emits very little moisture. Viscose does not react well to moisture, so extra care must be taken in the cleaning of these rugs.
