So, you've decked out your patio with an outdoor rug but now you're probably scratching your head, wondering, "How in the world do I clean this thing?"
Fear not, we've got you covered. Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of outdoor rug maintenance and get that rug sparkling clean in no time!
HOW TO CLEAN AN OUTDOOR RUG
- Shake Shake Shake: First things first, give that rug a good shake. If you've got muscles of steel, go ahead and lift it up, but if not, no worries. Just hang it over a fence or clothesline and give it a good brushing to rid it of dirt, crumbs, or soil.
- Vacuum: Time to bust out the vacuum cleaner. Give both sides of your rug a thorough vacuuming session to banish any lingering debris and keep it looking fresh as a daisy.
- Brush: If you're feeling fancy, grab a brush and sweep away any stubborn crumbs or dirt. It's like a mini workout for your rug!
To keep your outdoor rug looking tip-top, make sure to give it a good clean every few weeks. Your rug will thank you for it, trust us.
HOW TO WASH AN OUTDOOR RUG
- Hose It Down: Grab your trusty garden hose and blast away any dirt, mud, or spillages. No need for soap here, folks!
- Vacuum or Brush: Before you start hosing, give your rug a once-over with the vacuum or brush to remove any loose debris.
- Hose Away: Time to get wet and wild! Use the hose to wash down your outdoor rug until it's squeaky clean.
- Roll and Stand: Once you're done, roll up your rug and let it stand upright for a few minutes to drip dry.
- Soak Up the Sun: Lay your rug flat in the sunshine and let it bask until it's bone dry.
HOW TO STORE AN OUTDOOR RUG
When summer bids a fond farewell and the chill of winter sets in, it's time to think about storing your outdoor rug.
You can tuck it away in a cool, dry spot indoors until next year rolls around. But hey, why not keep the party going year-round? Bring that rug indoors and show it off in the kitchen, under the dining table, or even in the kids' playroom
After all, why let half the year go to waste when your rug can be the star of the show all year long?
