Spot clean stains with a stain remover appropriate for wool
carpets. Be sure to test on a less visible area for color-fastness.
Take the rug outside and put it on a clean, paved area. Wet
the rug down with a garden hose.
Add two capfuls of a mild cleaner such as Woolies to a
bucket of cold water. Using a beater or whisk, whip up suds in the bucket.
Use a clean sponge or sponge mop to apply the suds to rug,
gently wiping as you go.
Rinse rug thoroughly once you have finished applying the suds. Roll up the rug in dry towels to remove remaining water. The wet rug will be heavy.
You can also do the same to your contemporary rug, clearance area rugs and other kinds of rugs at home.
