Washing Memory Foam Rugs
January 9, 2020
A memory foam rug puts cushiony softness underfoot, relieving foot and leg fatigue should you stand for extended periods. The soft foam additionally creates a comfortable floor for children and their toys. Offered in a variety of sizes for any room, little versions are frequently used in front of the kitchen sink or as a bathmat. The microfiber construction holds a great deal of water, along with also the non-slip backing helps makes these rugs a safe choice.
Wash the Rug
Vacuum the rug surface to remove all loose debris and dirt, or even brush it off with a broom. Put clean stains or pre-treat heavily soiled areas with laundry solutions. Set the rug in the washing machine using its right side exposed. Place the machine to a delicate cycle, add standard laundry soap or soap, and fill the machine using rather cool water, never hot, according to the maker’s instructions. Because the polyurethane foam is synthetic stuff, don’t dry clean the rug. Avoid bleach and other cleaning solvents and substances.
Dry the Rug
After the cycle ends, remove the rug in the washing machine. Check the care label for drying hints. Some manufacturers suggest machine drying low and also removing the rug while it’s still moist, allowing it to complete air drying to avoid a peeled backing. Other makers recommend laying the rug flat to dry, or hanging it out from supplied loops. Avoid using clothespins; they pinch the polyurethane and leave compression marks. You may need to gently stretch or reshape some polyurethane foam rugs after laundering to renew the original dimensions. Foam rugs hold water so that it may take longer than expected to dry.
