How to Clean an Area Rug With Steam
$3
10 Minutes
Easy
After a long winter, the area rug in my mud room needed a good cleaning. With the help of oxi clean and the HomeRight SteamMachine it was clean in no time.
Look at how dirty the rug is on the left before the oxi clean and the steamer. I was amazed at how quickly the SteamMachine left the rug looking clean and fresh.
All that salt, mud and grime that comes in throughout the winter really made this rug look dirty.
First I sprayed the really dirty areas of the rug with oxi clean, then went over the rug a couple times with the SteamMachine floor attachment with a microfiber cloth attached to it.
Just a few minutes later the rug looked much cleaner. You can read all the details on our blog. www.homeright.com/blog

Judy Waldingon Apr 8, 2015Was about to roll my rug up for a trip to the cleaners. Will certainly give this a try. We have dogs and they track in everything! Thanks for this tip.

Judy Waldingon Apr 24, 2015@Judy Walding I'm not good with pictures but I'm telling you, IT WORKED! Very pleased with the results. Thank you. I didn't rent a steamer, I used my little steam mop. I'm sure it would have been better with steamer but you'd be surprised how much my little mop got up. I love my steam mop, works great.

Have a question about this project?
Wondering if my shark steam mop would work for this task?
@Melissa Ann Collins You could try it.
Can you use a steam mop on hard wood floors.
