How to effectively deep clean your rug without a steam cleaner
To deep clean a rug without a steam cleaner, start by vacuuming it thoroughly, shaking off any loose dirt and dust. Next, sprinkle baking soda on the rug and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then, use a stiff brush to scrub the baking soda into the fibers of the rug, working in sections at a time. Finally, vacuum the baking soda off the rug and let it air dry. To remove any stubborn stains, mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray the affected area. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before blotting it up with a clean cloth. Repeat if necessary until the stain is gone.
