I have an ikea area rug, I think it is 5 x 7 feet, the pile is about an inch long and its gray. It stinks and I don’t want to go rent a carpet shampoo machine for a small carpet. I’m not sure the exact name of the carpet as I took off all of the labels on it. I live 2 hours away from ikea and I really don’t really wanna buy a new one when I could try to wash this one first
I have a low pile large area rug from IKEA in my living room. It’s a high traffic area, so even with vacuuming multiple times a week the colors have started to look a little dingy over the years and I can still see some trapped dirt/hair buried deep in the fibers when I look up close. The label says not to wash/shampoo it, but I reallllly want to try a carpet shampooer like a Rug Doctor on it. Has anyone done this and not totally ruined their IKEA rug? Any other tips for how I can clean it safely in a similar manner?
It’s low pile which counterintuitively seems to trap dirt and hair even more easily, and the black and white shows dirt of every color 😭 I’ve tried a squeegee to get out pet hair but it gets out maybe 10% of it and the vacuum picks up maybe another 10. Any tips much appreciated
