wonderful tips on this oriental naisrep sgur rugs blog to share to you what I have found so that it will be much easier for you. Here are some of the steps that I get from the web in taking care of your oriental rug:
Step 1. Vacuum the rug on both sides while still in its original location. Then hang it and beat out any remaining dirt and dust.
Step 2. Move the oriental rug to a clean, flat space for washing. A garage floor, clean driveway or patio will do.
Step 3. Wet down it with cool water, then test a small area for color run with an extremely mild rug shampoo. If colors don't run, shampoo your entire rug, front and back, using a soft, long-bristled brush.
Step 4. Brush shampoo in softly with the grain of the rug pile. Make sure that it is completely wet with soapy water.
Step 5. Clean the rug's fringes. Using a soft brush and a soapy water, lightly brush the fringe away from the rug. Repeat this step until it is clean.
Step 6. Rinse the oriental rug with a hose running cool water. Make sure that it is completely rinse out the shampoo from the front, back and fringes.
Step 7. Remove standing water from the rug using a clean rubber window squeegee. Run the squeegee along the rug's grain until it is removed.
As I said on my previous post, it is still advisable that you hire a professional rug cleaner to do this task but if the budget or the time requires that you'll be the one to deal with the cleaning of the carpet then just be careful in performing cleaning routine so that the investment for the carpet shouldn't be put into just waste.
It would also be helpful if you put up a guide about how to deal with common stains that are very difficult to remove. I see a lot of folks in the internet asking how to remove nasty stuff such as red wine stains and dog poop! The pictures are quite terrible.
