How do I care for my Claire Murray rug.

Claire will share her favorite method of cleaning her rugs with you. She has several in her kitchen where they often experience drips and spills. She uses an old fashion remedy with great success by mixing ammonia and water. Make a solution of 5 parts water to 1 part ammonia and put it in a little spray bottle. If the rug gets soiled simply shake the bottle and spray the stain. Do not saturate the area, but spray enough to raise the stain. Then with a clean dry cloth dab at the area, do not rub, removing the stain and any excess moisture. Then let air dry. This should do the job. Claire’s rugs have been down for many years and this is all she uses.

Should you need all over cleaning, Claire recommends using a Chem-Dry franchise. So that you can find the one nearest you, here is an 800 number,  800-243-6379  800-243-6379 .
Since all franchises are not quite the same Claire recommends that you ask a few questions before you allow them to clean your rug. Do they use a carbonated cleaning solution, which is water based, quick drying, non-toxic, organic and pet friendly? After all our pets are not the only ones to come in direct contact with our rugs. You should also mention that they not use too stiff a brush, but treat your Claire Murray rug gently. Should you not be able to find a franchise in your area, we at Claire Murray use Whalen Cleaning Services at  800-287-3222  800-287-3222 . People often ship their rugs to them for cleaning, as they are very experienced in dealing with Claire Murray rugs.
