From 1003 Household Hints & Work Savers (1947), tips on cleaning rugs: never shake rugs to clean them, cleaning small rugs, and how to clean single colored rugs.
Really? I shake them all the time, though! Although, that happens only when I have time to spare to clean up my rugs. I also brush them hard with one of those hand-held scrubbers you find on the hardware stores.
Please leave a comment or share your wisdom. You may disagree, but kindly remember your manners; as Grandma used to say, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
I would never have thought of using corn meal. And did not know shaking a rug could damage it - guess I have to stop the practice!
ReplyDeleteThis is very surprising, I always sake my rugs and washing machine it. LOL! Thanks for the tips.

Also when drying your rugs, rotate it frequently to equalize effects of the sun as to avoid continual direct exposure to sunlight.
