On rugs, we have found that there are typically 3 different types of soils resulting in a rug being dirty. The 3 types of soils are: spots & stains, unattached surface litter (such as pet hair) and oil/grease. When you notice a dirt mark on your oriental rug, it is important to have the rug cleaned quickly as the longer the soil is present, the harder it is to remove it.

I have a new dog and it had an accident on my rug, what should I do?
If your new dog (or any other pet you may have) has an accident on your oriental rug, it's very important you absorb it from the rug as soon as possible. Once you have absorbed as much as you can, use a mixer of 50% vinegar and 50% water (50/50) to blot the area (DO NOT RUB). Do not use typically spot remover products as they may contain harsh chemicals that could damage the rug.
