Back from a walk, your little one crosses your new rug in muddy shoes? No need to worry. Follow these steps and the mud will soon be gone.
The usual rule is to act fast. Mud is the exception. Here you should wait until it has dried before cleaning your rug.
Step 1: Let it dry, then scrape
Let the mud dry first. Once dry, use a scraper or a flat object to lift the hardened mud off the rug with ease.
Step 2: Lukewarm water with ammonia
Next, dampen a cloth with lukewarm water and add a tablespoon of ammonia. Blot the marks gently, without rubbing: rubbing only spreads them. Keep blotting for about a minute, until the stain is gone.
Step 3: Let it dry
Blot with a dry cloth to absorb the remaining moisture, then let the rug air dry.
