1. Hoover it on the reverse as well as on the pile.

2. Take it outdoors on a dry day, and cover it in talcum powder (work talc into the pile)

3. Roll it pile inwards and store it for about 48 hrs under cover.

4. Shake it out as hard as you can. Finally hoover it again.


(Technique quite effective esp if wool starts to smell like a wet spaniel!)


Dry cleaning should really be a last resort = chemicals not good from an eco point of view.


Your rug might be washable, if so it will be labelled. After hoovering front and back take it outdoors on a sunny day to shampoo then totally rinse it, using garden hose.

Every hour or so turn it the other way up in the sunshine and it will look great once it's dry.


Being Ikea maybe it is not washable, unless it was fairly expensive to begin with.

From the Ikea link you gave:


Care instructions

Vacuum, shake and rotate the rug regularly.

Dry spots; remove immediately by scraping carefully towards the middle of the spot.

Wet spots; do not rub. Absorb with paper towels, damp with cloth and mild detergent.

Professional carpet cleaning when needed.

Always use the standard floorhead, never the rotating brush, when vaccum cleaning the rug.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
