What is the best way to clean a throw rug?
I just moved into a new house and the previous tennants left behind a pretty grey throw rug. But it’s dirty and smells awful, like dogs or something. I don’t have anything against dogs, having two myself, but how to clean the carpet and get the smell out?
Sorry….carpet like throw rug not the carpet itself!

What is that stuff called that helps keep your rug from sliding around on your hardwood?
Buy a can of foaming carpet spray. Spray the carpet and scrub with a damp mop. Once dry sprinkle with some carpet fresh and vacuum. If possible hang outside to air dry.=)
If it will ball up you can take it to the laundry mat and clean it. For my large ones that only roll, I take them out to my driveway and drip detergeant all over them then blast it with my hose. When all the soap it washed away, I hang it on my fence to dry in the sun for the day.
