Which Types Of Rugs Are Easiest To Clean?

Wool Rug Cleaning
Wool is a very durable material for rugs. Since
the fibers are coil-shaped, wool rugs tend to
keep their shape even if they are exposed to
heavy foot traffic. Wool naturally repels stains,
so its the type of rug easier to keep clean than
many other rug materials. The main downside of
wool rugs is that they tend to shed, especially
when theyre brand new. Its best to regularly
vacuum your wool rug to get rid of loose fibers.
However, avoid using a beater bar vacuum or
vacuuming more than once a week. This can be too
harsh and cause your rug to shed more.

Cotton Rug Cleaning
Cotton rugs are often even easier to clean than
wool rugs. If your cotton rug is small enough,
you can clean it by simply throwing it in the
washing machine. The dryer might be a bit too
much, though. The downside of cotton is that its
less durable than wool or polypropylene, another
common rug material. Nevertheless, a cotton rug
can last for many years as long as you take care
of it.

Polypropylene Rug Cleaning
Polypropylene, also called olefin, is known for
being particularly durable and easy to clean.
This common synthetic material is water and
stain-resistant, so it is often used in outdoor
and entryway rugs. To keep your polypropylene rug
clean, vacuum regularly and clean stains as
needed. Your rug will stay soft and sturdy as
long as you perform this basic maintenance.

Seagrass Rug Cleaning
Seagrass is another durable and easy-to-clean
material from nature. Seagrass fibers are
stain-resistant and can work well in moderately
humid environments. However, you should never
soak a seagrass rug if you want it to maintain
its integrity. Like most of the rug materials on
this list, seagrass can be cleaned with a light
vacuuming and gentle spot cleaning as needed.

Jute Rug Cleaning
Jute is another rug material that can be easy to
clean depending on your circumstances. To keep
your jute rug clean, blot any spills with a
baking soda solution. Avoid using any more water
than necessary. Like cotton, jute is very durable
with strong natural fibers. However, a jute rug
may not be the best option in the Pacific
Northwest. The material can easily grow mildew
and mold if you arent careful to keep it
completely dry.

Nylon Rug Cleaning
Nylon is a manufactured rug material that resists
dirt and can be easily cleaned. Nylon rug
cleaning involves nothing more than a light
vacuum every week or two. The main downside to
this material is that dyed nylon rugs tend to
fade over time. In addition, nylon rugs without
stain protection may become easily stained. Nylon
is a great material for people who want an
easy-to-clean, brightly colored rug for now and
anticipate changing their décor later on.
