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.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
