You should clean your rug as you do carpet. Spot clean with any commercial rug and carpet cleaner, steam clean, or use mild soap and water. You may also wash smaller rugs in cold water in your washer machine. Be sure to lay your rug flat to dry. NEVER use cleaners that contain chlorine, ammonia, or that have an alkaline level less than 4 (all commercial carpet cleaners are safe). To shake out your rug, roll the end then grasp the roll to shake. When vacuuming your rug use the suction only, making sure the beater bar is not turning.
Yarn ends and short pieces of sewing thread will eventually work up to the surface. Use sharp scissors and cut the thread or yarn flush with the surface of the rug, taking care not to cut or pull the sewing stitches.
