A 9x12 area rug can hold 87 pounds of soil without looking dirty!
A study by the Eureka Company revealed that a 9x12 area rug can hold 87 pounds of soil without looking dirty. Most oriental rugs are made with wool fibers that naturally hide soil. Hand-knotting helps even more. This explains why old oriental rugs retain their beauty. However, dry soil is damaging to rugs so besides regular vacuuming, be sure to have your rugs cleaned on a regular basis.
Part of Champion's rug cleaning process is dust removal with our Rug Badger. The Rug Badger is amazing at removing dry soil.
