How to clean an indoor/outdoor rug
Indoor/outdoor rugs are so easy to clean and maintain, they’re a great choice for busy households with
pets and kids. It only takes a few steps to keep your rug looking fresh:
1. Sweep and vacuum
First, use a broom to sweep away as much dirt and debris from the surface of your rug as possible.
Follow up by vacuuming both sides of the rug. Do not use a beater bar.
Small indoor/outdoor rugs can simply be taken to a corner of your yard and shaken out before
vacuuming.
2. Spot Cleaning
Blot fresh spills with a clean white cloth, then rinse your rug with a hose and lay it in a sunny area to
let it air dry. You can also use buckets of water if you don’t have access to a garden hose.
For stubborn spills, you may also mix some detergent with water and scrub the area before rinsing.
3. Deep Cleaning
Mix one tablespoon of mild, dye-free detergent with a gallon of water. Dip a soft bristle brush or
sponge into your solution and use it to gently scrub the rug surface. Rinse with a hose and air dry in
a sunny area.
Note: While indoor/outdoor rugs are designed to stand up to UV rays and rain, they should be rolled up
and taken indoors during harsh weather such as snow.
