Old hooked rugs are now treasured as examples of American folk
art. They usually are hung on a wall, not used on the floor.
If your old hooked rug has seen wear and dirt, clean it carefully.
Place the rug on a table. Use cold water with soap suds or a very
mild rug shampoo. Test a small area to be sure the moisture won't
cause the dye to run. Spread the foam over the top of the dirty
rug, rub a little with a soft brush or cloth. Blot it with a towel
and let it dry.
Don't get the rug too wet, as the moisture can rot the burlap
backing. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner. And do not hang the rug ...
