That s why you should flip the rug upside down after you ve vacuumed the top and then vacuum it again. However by only vacuuming the top you merely remove the dust and dirt that s on the surface and not the dirt that s more deeply embedded. Dip a sponge in the water squeeze out excess moisture and blot the cleaner onto the rug working in sections until you ve covered the entire surface. To start with you vacuum your rug as you would normally.

When you blot the spot move the towel in straight lines. Dampen a microfiber cloth with soapy water and lightly dab it on the surface of the rug working in the direction of the nap and re moistening your cloth as needed. For a larger rug a steam cleaner can clean the clean. Rinse out your bucket and refill it with plain cold water.

Hang small rugs outside to dry. To remove any residual staining dampen a cotton cloth or clean paper towel with clean cold lukewarm water. Using your hands and a paddle beat the rug so that the dirt falls downwards and is captured into the snow. Never rub a spill as this forces the spill deeper into the rug.

Start by rolling up the carpet indoors and then unrolling it upside down in the snow. Blot using a clean white 100 cotton dry towel. Go easy on the water though. Do this repeatedly turning the folded towel over and over until you have absorbed as much moisture as possible.
