How to clean an indoor/outdoor rug/carpet

put it out on a clothes line hit it a few times with a base ball bat or rug beater to loosen the dirt. Then spray with hose. If you have the right attachment from a house wash product you can fill that bottle with a laundry detergent or better yet a carpet cleaner and spray with that. Rinse well and dry in a shady area to prevent fading.

Here is how I do mine (keep in mind, my rug lives on the patio year round).

First I pressure wash the patio and clean that. Then I lay the carpet down and pressure rinse it. Then I have a bucket of water with a cup of vinegar and a scant squirt of Dawn dish liquid. Pour that on the carpet. Take a long handled stiff (natural bristle) broom and work it in the rug. Rinse with hose. Then I drape over the fence and rinse again. Then I leave it there to drip dry. Where I live it is hot so mine dries pretty quickly.

Hi Suzanne, Depending how soiled the rug is, you could use either your outdoor hose and scrub with a brush, or get same result using a pressure washer. Lay it outside to dry over something like picnic table or lawn furniture. Best of luck to you.

Drape it over something sturdy and use you power spray washer on it. nothing added. Leave it to dry.

I take mine outside, hose them, scrub them down with a bit of dish detergent and a stiff push broom then rinse and hang over a bunch of chairs or fence.
