However, never use a detergent bar since the harsh chemicals in that item can make your lose the quality of your rugs eventually. Once you are done mixing the solution, then simple put the cloth in it with the use of a broom.

Lastly, make sure that the material is already completely dry. If it still feels a little damp when you touch it, then do not take it in yet. It should have no moisture before you store it.
