Welcome to a new week, everyone!\u00a0 It’s going to be a busy one for us.\u00a0 I’m flying to Charlotte to spend some time with Jordan and her family, and we are going to see “Hamilton<\/em>.”\u00a0 Then we are all driving to DC to watch our son run in his first (and possibly only) marathon. Oh, and the painters are supposed to finish the touch-ups here at our new house, and we will be able to stick a fork in it and call it, “Done!”\u00a0 Meanwhile, I have a great tip to share with you today.\u00a0 I am going to tell you how to clean a seagrass rug border.\u00a0 We have two seagrass rugs that are in perfectly good condition except the neutral colored borders around the edges were dirty in spots because we walked across those areas frequently.\u00a0 And we have shoes for only indoors, so go figure. We wanted to use the rugs in our new place, but I didn’t want to use them in their dirty condition. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and scrub out the dirt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How To Clean A Seagrass Rug Border<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Since the rugs were dirty, my thought process was that I wouldn’t use them like that.\u00a0 If my experiment failed, then I wasn’t out anything.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

First of all, this is not an ad or a sponsored post, but I have always had great luck using Pine Sol as a spot remover.\u00a0 If I get something greasy on a garment, I just add a little Pine Sol straight out of the bottle to the spot, put the item in the washer, and it always comes out clean.\u00a0 Ditto for a spot on a piece of furniture or rug.\u00a0 I simply use a wet cloth, add a bit of Pine Sol to it, and scrub or dab away until the spot comes out.\u00a0 I used to love Lestoil, but I can’t find it in stores any more.\u00a0 Do any of you see it where you live?<\/p>\n

The Process<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

So, my plan for cleaning the border was to add some Pine Sol to a bowl of warm water, and use an old wash cloth to just scrub away at the spots and stains until they disappeared.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I used quite a bit of the mixture and got the border pretty wet.\u00a0 I knew that if I scrubbed it evenly, it would dry evenly.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Results<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The results were just what I was hoping for.\u00a0 After drying, which took a few hours, the border looks brand new.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I am so happy with the results and know that I will get lots more use of our our two seagrass rugs.\u00a0 If you have a rug with a soiled border, you might want to try cleaning it.\u00a0 It’s always fun to get a few more years out of something you love.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
