Treating Old Rugs

You don’t see me buying lots of rugs for our home – why?  because i don’t like the dust in the first place and they get old and their color fades – badly.  I find it such a waste to throw them out but it’s worst to try and clean it.  I remember when we first got married and bought our own home – our first home – it was kinda hard on us – because we were young and didn’t know better. A friend told us about po finance for the spouse’s business and that definitely helped us into putting our finances in a much better shape and then we were able to do more for our home and for our kids.

Anyhow, I found out more about how one can bring your old rug back to live and I was ecstatic and just had to share it with you. You don’t even need to spend a lot of money on it either.  Some hot water and salt in equal parts and then apply it to your rug with a damp cloth – now how hard is that right?  The salt is said to help brighten the color of your rug and the hot water helps to keep it that way.  But hang on a min – before you plunge into the project – give your rug a spot test in case yours cannot take the hot water.   Some said to use a dry towl to place over the areas to help blot out any excess moisture – you can just get the kids to walk on it and that’s all you need to do.

Another tip you may find handy is if you wanna clean your old rug – try bringing it to a car wash – give it a good scrubbing there with some salt – and you don’t have to dirty your bath tub – woohoo!
