Where should I go to get my throw rug cleaned?

Question

I have a 4x6 or a 3x5 (not sure) woven throw rug from Crate and Barrel, where should I go to get it cleaned? the dry cleaners or do I have to bring it to a rug cleaning place?

Answer 1

Depending on where your live your dry cleaner may have a pick-up/drop off service... If the rugs are small enough which they seem to be you may be better off renting a steam cleaner from the grocery store or drug store and doing it yourself. I'm in Ohio and I can rent a steam cleaner (rug doctor), for $16 and buy the solution.. Which will last for many more cleanings.... Good luck

Answer 2

Where I liver there is no Professional Certified Rug Cleaning service so I have been using

www.RugSpa.com

their reviews are great and they the only certified rug cleaners that offer Nationwide service to all 48 states.

You should be really careful when using a steam cleaner or anything else. You should really read this article before trying to do it yourself:

i put those in the wash machine. i spray the rug with something like Stain Out, fold the rug in half long ways, front face out, and wrap around the spindle best you can. use high water level and stuff something else on the other side of the spindle to keep washer from off balance on spin out.

No joke - since it's small, test it for colorfastness. If it can take water, take it to a high pressure auto washer, an squirt and rinse it there. Leave it in the sun to dry to de-stink it (if it smells). Works great.

Answer 5

Here in this city, we have Laundromats that will do the work for us. We get our bed comforts washed once per year. They only cost around $6. We found them in the yellow pages under laundromats.

Answer 6

Go to the laundromat and see if they have a "big boy" washer. You can do it yourself for $10
