How to Clean a White Rug

How do you clean a white rug? Well, the answer isn't simple at all.

If you've ended up here, you've probably already tried it yourself and discovered it's really not an easy task.

White rugs look absolutely stunning, especially in a showroom, or even at home during the first few months :)

After a few months of use, whether at home or in the office, our rugs start picking up stains, odors, and a wide range of other contaminants.

Naturally, because of their light color, white rugs are the hardest to maintain and keep clean.

Whenever customers ask us for tips on buying sofas and rugs, we explain that they shouldn't buy light-colored furniture, precisely because of maintenance concerns.

But if you're willing to put in the work and maintain your rugs properly because you really love them, know that there is a solution.

How to clean a white rug through regular maintenance?

First, try not to walk on it with your shoes on, don't place it in the dining area, and most importantly, vacuum it thoroughly at least twice a week.

Want to protect your rugs from stains?

In recent years, at Zeus Clean we've been offering our customers a new service — coating rugs with a stain-repellent product.

It's a product that protects the rug if liquids are spilled on it.

In the event of an accident, you'll have enough time to grab a clean towel, cloth, or paper towels and blot up the liquid from the rug.

How do you clean a rug professionally?

Professional cleaning can be done at our facility — our team will pick up your rugs and return them after a period of five to seven business days from the day of pickup.

Another option is to have the cleaning done at your home using a rug-cleaning machine that works through injection-extraction.

Cleaning a standard two-by-three living room rug can be done within half an hour to an hour, after which the rug is left to dry for half a day to a full day.

If possible, we can hang the rugs in the yard or on a balcony, which cuts the drying time in half.

If that's not possible, we simply leave them in place and thoroughly air out the room at the end of the job.

Can rug cleaning remove tough stains?

Absolutely, yes! We know how to handle and remove every type of stain using professional stain removers.

It's worth knowing that there are cases where a stain simply can't be removed, because some marks are just permanent.

To avoid situations like this, it's best to treat stains as soon as possible.

Beyond stains, we also know how to remove unpleasant odors like sweat, smoke, soot, and waste from people and pets.

No matter whether you reach out to us or another company, or even try to clean it yourself, remember never to clean rugs with bleach, active oxygen, or any other product that isn't specifically formulated for your rug.
