[usr] Have you ever tried to steam clean an antique rug? [sys] I have not, I feel like it should be done by a professional. [usr] Well I figured that out. I cleaned mine last night. They are clean but now they smell horrible! [sys] Oh no! Probably tons of years of dirt caked into the rug. Did you use the right cleaner? [usr] probably not. I wish I would have just left them dirty. I have them airing out outside now. [sys] Maybe the dirt adds to the whole antique feel of them. [usr] LOL, yeah! so true. [qst] [None] [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
I hope you can find a solution that works for you!
I steam cleaned my antique rugs last night but because they are so old they have ta horrible smell. I wish I would have just left them dirty.
