Last Monday I showed you the easiest way ever to clean your stove, and today I have another quick cleaning tip for you. I've had my kitchen rugs for about 6 months now, and although they're easy to vacuum to keep the crumbs at bay, there were drips and spills here and there that needed some attention.
So, I loaded up the rugs and headed to the car wash! And yes, I felt ridiculous standing in the wash bay taking photos of my rugs...all for you guys!
After a few minutes and $1 in quarters, the rugs were all clean. I rolled them up and put them in a large leaf trash bag so they wouldn't drip all over my car, then threw them over the fence for the afternoon to dry out. I'm sure I could have just hung them on the fence in the first place and used the hose, but I liked the thought of the high-pressure sprayer at the car wash.
All ready to go again!
I hope you had a great weekend. We are down to 8 days of school left and racing towards the finish line with loads of activities along the way, and more projects than ever to work on!
Only 8 days of school left??? Oh my gosh. We go until the end of June thanks to all the snow days that added on to the end of the year!
ReplyDeleteI still love your rugs, made even better by the fact that they can be sprayed down to clean! Perfect for a kitchen!
Your rugs look great! I actually have indoor/outdoor rugs in my family room and dining room. I love with pets and kids they can be easily cleaned, and you can definitely get a super large rug for half the price of a normal indoor rug. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tip. I have a couple that need cleaning. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! We have a power washer and my jute rug in the family room was on the spring cleaning list. :) We're not far behind for the end of school...yay!

LOL, I love it! This is perfect for me because I have indoor outdoor rugs everywhere in my house. I don't know if you saw that I have those exact rugs as my living room area rug ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the rugs and cleaning! That song "carwash" comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteI have an outdoor rug in my laundry as this is the walkway out to the backyard so tends to get a bit grubby from everyones shoes. Like you I love that you can wash them clean again! Nice kitchen by the way :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your tip - I will have to try it out! Found you at 52 Mantels :)
