Use and Care Manual
Clean It Monthly 
 Stains and Spills:  If a new spill occurs (and 
lets face it, it will!) use a dry cloth to blot 
the excess that’s on top of the rug. Make 
sure not to rub with the cloth to prevent 
pushing the substance further in to the 
fibers.  If it is a large spill, you can use your 
garden hose to thoroughly rinse the rug. 
If you choose this method, make sure to 
place the rug where it will have direct 
sunlight to completely dry the outdoor 
rug. 
 Area rugs attract a lot of dirt, 
especially if they are outside. To clean 
yours easily, mix a solution of dish soap 
and water in a bucket. Then, scrub the 
rug using a large nylon brush. Make 
sure to clean both sides of the rug to 
get all the dirt off. After you've 
scrubbed it, rinse the rug with a hose. 
It's best to rinse the rug on a sloped 
surface, like your driveway, so the 
water can drain away. 
 Vacuum: To keep your outdoor rug 
looking its best, regular vacuuming is 
key. Vacuuming the rug will keep dirt 
from settling into the fibers and limits 
the ability for mold to grow.  Mold 
cannot grow on synthetic rugs but it 
can grow on the dirt within the rug 
fibers.
