Pre-wash stain removal tips:
If you notice stains on your Flatwoven Rug, try one of the following pre-treatments before washing:
-
Ruggabble spot cleaner & stain remover: Specifically tested and proven effective with your Ruggable rug against a variety of stains. For pre-wash usage, saturate stain with cleaner and machine wash as normal.
-
Laundry stain remover spray: Use a laundry stain removal spray according to the product directions. We’ve found that enzyme-based laundry stain removers work best on our Flatwoven Rug Covers, but oxygen-based stain removers can also provide a boost when washing.
-
Carpet spot cleaner: Carpet spot cleaners can be used as a pre-wash treatment as well, just apply the product to the stain and wait 10 minutes before washing the rug.
-
Powder stain remover: Soak the stained area of the Rug Cover in a mixture of powder stain remover and room temperature water for a few hours or up to overnight before washing.
-
Laundry detergent: Mix 1-2 teaspoons of laundry detergent into cool water and lightly work the mixture into the stain. Allow the Rug Cover to rest with the detergent mixture for an hour before washing.
