Vacuuming
Never vacuum against the nap of the rug (the
direction of the nap can easily be determined by running the hand across the
pile from fringe to fringe). Vacuuming against the nap also presses dirt back
into the rug. Never vacuum the rugs’ fringes. The continued catching of the
fringe in the suction of a vacuum cleaner causes the fringes to break and
tear. Sweeping with a broom will give the best result. As a general rule
always vacuum with a low-level suction using a new bag.
General Procedure
Always rub or brush lightly from the outer
edge toward the center of the stain to prevent spreading or causing the ring
when using solvents especially on twist rugs and pile carpets. On old, dry or
stubborn stains, saturate, blot, and brush. Repeat this operation as often as
necessary to remove the stain completely.
