The rug is quite a versatile element in home decor. Whether it's an indoor or outdoor rug, it's important to keep it in good condition. When rugs are washed regularly, their service life is extended. There are a variety of cleaning techniques ranging from vacuuming to water and snow washing. It is familiar for some to take their bedding out in the frost, but rugs can also be cleaned in the cold frost. The snow wash of the rug is naturally suitable, especially for the northern climate, and the wash can be done, for example, on wool and cotton rugs. It makes sense to snow wash rugs, especially on large ones, which are stiff when washed with water, weigh a lot when wet and dry slowly.
Snow washing the rugs makes the rugs clean, bright, and fresh. Washing kills bacteria and removes pet hair from rugs. A frosty winter day is the best time to snow wash your rugs, cold frost snow is light and loose, and does not cause much dampness in the rugs. Rugs should be washed at least twice a year. In the summer, washing can be done, for example, in a public rug washing area. In winter, snow washing rugs is an ecological, easy, and silent alternative to regular washing. When snow washing your rugs, you also get fresh air and effective exercise.
Before taking rugs to the yard, it is a good idea to vacuum them indoors. This removes excess dust from the rugs. Another option is to tamp the rugs on a rug rack with a dedicated rug whip. Once the surface dust has been removed, it is advisable to leave the rugs on a rug stand or railing for a while. When the rugs are outdoors, they cool down and the snow does not melt on their surface very easily when washed. The outside air also refreshes the rugs. When rugs feel cool, they can be placed on clean frosty snow. If a clean and even snow area is not available, snow washing the rugs can also be done on a rug rack.
When the rug rests in the frosty snow, clean snow can be sprinkled on them. If you wash it on a rug rack, you can add snow to both sides of the rug with a brush. Next, the snow is either brushed or shaken thoroughly off the surface of the mat. You should choose a brush according to the type of rug, it’s important that the brush is clean and does not damage the surface of the rug. The snow removal of the rug is conveniently done with a long-handled, high-quality brush. Both sides of the rug should be treated to remove any dirt and dust.
Once the rugs have been snow-washed, they should be allowed to refresh for a while. The rugs get a clean scent of fresh air. After washing, the rugs are slightly damp. When taken indoors, the rugs should still be dried in a warm place before being placed on the floor. A good place to dry rugs is on a warm bathroom floor or placed airily over a chair or two to air dry. It is important that the rugs aren’t used immediately before they have dried. Cold frosted air can damage the rug whip. For this reason, it is a good idea to keep a rug whip indoors whenever it is not needed to tap the rugs.
The northern climate provides a great opportunity for organic cleaning of the rug. Snow washing the rug is successful without strong detergents, many of which can be harmful to nature. Washing is effortless, as the snow removal of the rug is successful as long as there is clean snow. It makes sense to snow wash your rugs a couple of times a year, for example on the first and last frosty days of a long winter.
If washing was done with water, washing rugs would use up litres of water. Snow washing, on the other hand, does not require the use of water at all. Snow washing of rugs also does not require transporting heavy rugs by car far to the washing place, but can be done in the backyard, for example. All you need to wash is a brush and a rug whip. Tapping rugs instead of vacuuming also saves on electricity usage.
Since washing your rug does not require the use of detergents, you save money on other needs. Snow washing is an effective way to remove unwanted odours and dust, but hard frost also naturally exterminates most unwanted fleas and bedbugs. Washing snow on a rug is relatively effortless and quick, compared to washing with water in a rug washing area, where wet rugs often dry slowly. While snow washing rugs is effective, it does not remove the heaviest stains. Sensitive materials also cannot withstand snow washing. If the rug is marked with a water wash, it should be handled with special care and the best solution is to take the rug a professional launderer.
