Do you have any wool rugs that need a cleaning? I started snow cleaning my wool rugs about eight years ago and I have been cleaning my rugs this way ever since. It works wonderfully and is totally FREE. Yay for budget friendly and organic cleaning tips!

The one down side to this cleaning tip is you need SNOW. We don't have any here this year yet but I am sure we will soon.The other downside is your neighbors ( if you have any) MIGHT think you are a little strange jumping up and down outside in the snow:). At least that is what my hubby tells me!

Jump, walk, skip, or hop all over your rug. Even puppies can help:).

Then bring the rug back in and take a nap;). If the snow is really dry the rug won't be damp at all and you can immediately put you furniture back on it. Snow cleaning your rugs can also be really good exercise for you, kids and even puppies :).

could you just put them outside and hope some dear walks across it lol this sounds neat but do you really have to jump and down or do like that lady who does her quilts that way? and just leave them outside maybe hitting them with a broom> just a thought.

Why not just vacuum the rug?
