How To Clean Up Spills on Area Rugs

If you spill something on a rug, treat it as though you would on carpet. Clean it up right away. Use a dry, clean cloth to pick up any solids and then soak up as much liquid as possible.

Rinse the area with warm water and blot it up with a cloth. After the area has dried, you can pass a vacuum over it to help restore it to its original appearance.

With area rugs, it’s important to rotate them frequently. As people walk over rugs, the rug will wear in the places that get the most traffic. By rotating the rug, you ensure the entire rug wears evenly and the appearance is similar throughout.
