That works great for synthetic rugs. If it had been wool - make sure you use a quality wool safe product. Also, keep rinsing until the suds are gone. Soap causes rapid resoling.
All great points, I definitely overdid it on the soap 😬🤦🏾♀️. Thank you for watching and giving your feedback Amy! 💯
You did great!!!! Keep us the good content!
Why CZcams isn't recommending this video first is beyond me. Thank you for the informative video!
Tip: If you add apple cider vinegar after your first rinse, you can stop the soapsuds from over forming and it'll rinse out much easier :)
Tip #2: If you have pets and they've made your rug smell, then you can probably get away with using some laundry detergent, the carpet cleaner she used in the video, or for max strength - Amazon's Commercial Enzyme Cleaner (Be sure to spray (not mist spray not good to breath in) the rug a day before taking it to the car wash, and just rinse it out).
Preciate that Stack! When people Like, Comment, Share, etc. that stuff makes a huge difference and I'm just not getting enough of that, but this video has gotten a lot of traction recently, so I'll thankful for that.
1 year after this video and yes, I'm commenting, liking, and subscribed BEFORE I Even watched the video. This is great
I never would have thought to use the broom as a squeegee, you saved me so much time!
🤯🤣💯💯
Exactlyyyyy. I’ve never seen anyone do that. It’s so smart!!!
I just LOVE your ingenious resourcefulness going to a car wash for this!
Thanks!
You're a life saver, thank you. Of course I can use $130 any day. I just called Mark Gonsenhauser in Virginia Beach he quoted me $244 for a 10 x 8 area rug. Sunday, I am doing it myself at a car wash, thanks to you. Thanks again, Queen!!!
Yessss Compu Spot!! I'm so glad this video helped you!💯 I love Va Beach; its my hometown ❤️
Did u try it?
Thanks for sharing. This video gave me the idea to borrow my parents power washer to clean my rug.
OK, but flipping the push broom into a squeegee? Girl. ❤❤❤❤
RIGHT!! 🤣💯💯💯
You're a genius for real. I have been putting this off for a long time because this is one of my least favorite chores but now I'm excited to try this. Thank you!
You got it Kitsch!! 💯💯 Preciate you!
Best one I’ve seen!
You handled this like a BOSS! Wow! Awesome idea! 🩷🌿
This is genius. I actually have a pressure washer and never thought of this method. Love it thank you!
You're welcome Angela! I'm glad this video found you 😊💯
This is an absolutely brilliant idea! I don't have a car, but it's inspired me to take my rug up to the roof terrace and use a hose to clean it your way. :)
Brilliant! Thank you. My outdoor rug looks brand new.
I spent $220 cleaning one area rug. This is genius. Doing this saturday!! For sure!
YOU’RE A GENIUS!!!! I’m definitely trying this! Thank youuuu!🥰
Genius! I just got a 9x12 rug and was feeling overwhelmed! This saved the day
Waiting for the weather in Chicago to get warm and stay warm and I am trying this, thank you for sharing!!!
I cannot wait to do this! I've been contemplating throwing my fav rug away then I found this!!
This is so smart! Great video
I usually do mine in my driveway, but OMG woman I never thought of the car wash !! Genius, pure genius !! ❤❤❤ Thank you !
Wow, this is the first video I watch and I don't even know what else you do but you've got yourself a new subscriber! Your resourcefulness is impressive!
It be like that sometimes 😆 thank you so much Maria, I appreciate you! 💯
Same!!!!
Yess this is exactly what i was looking for!! I’ve got a used rug that i’ve been saving for when i get to move out if my parents’ place. I just fell in love with it. But man it needs cleaning lol. Always had a hunch there was an easy enough way to do it myself but was never quite sure how. Didnt even think of a drill brush. Thank you!!!
This reminded me of a typical Saturday at home when my mum was alive😊
Aww, thank you for sharing that Noluyanda 😊
Had this idea in mind, but THANK YOU for proving how effective this is!!🤘🏽
Sure. I have been thinking of that too lately
I love that you saturate the rug and rinse it thoroughly at the end. I watched 2 other similar videos and it was like a race to clean the rug in under 3 minutes 😮 If that’s all you’re gonna give it, why bother?
I LOVE your personality
What a great idea! Thumbs up!
Looks GREAT❗️
Thank you so much I had been thinking about this for a long time since I took my rug out of storage and I didn't want anyone looking at me crazy 😂 Thank you that is exactly where I am going
Thank you for this, you saved me time and money! 🙏🏽💙
You are amazing! Also I could listen to you talk all day, love your voice!
Thanks Alexa 💯
Great video. 👍
Genius idea. I'm going to do this as soon as the weather warms up 🙂
❤❤❤❤thank you. Keep these great ideas coming.
Preciate you cjmkr! 💯
Thanks for this❤
Great Job!!!
This is so smart. Thank you for the idea!
Thank you Holly!
great video I love this idea. I was wondering how you were going to do it before I watched and what a great idea. Love it.
I just found this and a great big THANK YOU! Guess where I going tomorrow!!!!! It was very helpful!!
My goodness! The best video I have found to know what to do to wash my rug and have it clean. It’s more economic of what you did.
that's gosh dang briliant!
This is so brilliant, I don’t have a driveway and have been trying to figure out WHERE I can wash my rugs! Also, I saw a tip to dilute your shampoo with water in a watering can and use that to apply it :)
This is brilliant! Great channel.
Noel!! Thank you so much, I appreciate you 💯
AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing this video!! I am going to give it a go!!
Thank you Kenn! The car wash makes it super easy - no special equipment required 💯
Please keep doing these videos! I love the premise. It might take some time, but it will catch on eventually. I could easily see this becoming a tv show.
Danielle, thank you for the kind and encouraging words; they really mean a lot. I sooo appreciate you 💯
❤❤❤
Car wash idea is genius!! Thanks!
awesome video!
Thank you! Never though my to take it to the car wash. Tip for future cleaning I got from a professional: rinsing out 100% of the soap is extremely important or the dried soap acts as a wax that attracts and holds more dirt. I have done something similar on my deck and the rinse part takes forever so it is definitely good to not use too much soap. Thanks again!
Fab results!! What a great idea. I’m off to the car wash now!!! Thank you!!
I know that's right Deborah!! You're welcome 😊
Thanks I'll do my 2 rugs this weekday
On my way to try this with my rugs right now, will update how it goes!!
great idea
Thank so much ❤
Thank you!! 😁👍

Preciate you Ray! 💯
Wow! Great idea-the car wash! Brilliant!
Thank you Jane; I appreciate you!
I have a light fluffy area rug that I had rolled up and set aside because it needed cleaning. I thought my only option was to take it to the cleaners but I didn’t want to spend as much as the rug cost originally. Great idea to take it to the car wash! Thank you
Omg!!! You gorgeous genius. I’m doin it! 🙌👑
I love it so original I'm totally going to do this thank you❤
Thank you Kyle!
Kudos to you for teaching washing to others in a very interesting way. I hope I will succeed like you 🌹❤️😊
RCD, thank you so much!
“ IM TRYNA TELL YA” so funny I love the content . Keep it up very cool
Preciate you Shane! 💯
Great idea.
I bet there are lots of things you could clean at the car wash.
Great thank you very much! It’s summer time and where I live we have 100° plus perfect time to do my rugs. Just so you know you might want to try rinsing your carpet with vinegar this will help loosen any extra soap and will keep your carpet cleaner because residue will attract dirt. The vinegar smell will dissipate as it dries. I just found that on another video thought I’d share.
GENIUS
Thank you very much. I have several rugs!
You're welcome Johnny!
That's exactly what I do! ❤
Wow your a genius girl good job lov this video
Thanks Throwback!
My dad would always use our driveway. They always came out nice clean and smelling fresh.
Genius!!!
Great video. I have the same rug. Can’t wait until the weather is warmer. I don’t want to clean them in my driveway and have water and soap everywhere. The power brush/drill was next level!! But, what I will do is use the carpet rake before and after to get the carpet pile to stand up a bit more.
Oh friend! I watched another video that had me thinking I needed a special brush! I def check what my two area rugs are made of, and can do this for the cost of the cleaner! Thanks!!!!!
You're welcome Jennifer 💯
hell yeah! thank you!!!!!! 🤟🏼
Brilliant!!
Thank you Steph!!
Great video
Thank you Tracy!! I appreciate you 😊
You go girl!!❤❤💯
Thank you Kimiko!! I appreciate you 💯
Awesome‼️
Genious!
❤ well done sister!
Preciate that Behold! 💯
I’m going to try this tomorrow 👍🇬🇧
😊😊😊
I did try this, had to pick a good sunny dry day, which can sometimes be difficult in the UK🤣
However, I’m very pleased with the result, far cleaner than with a traditional carpet cleaner!
who would have thought to use a car wash?! I use a rug / carpet cleaner, but this method works great! thanks for the tip. Your rug looks cleaner than brand new!
Hello this was helpful. I was planning on washing out my rug in my driveway with a spray nozzle on a hose. I live in Texas and with temps of 100 degrees the rug will dry in no time flat! :)
Many thanks! I have a $100 8'x10' rug that would have cost me $300 to clean! Did this in 30 min, cost me $25!
Thank you ms. Funny I'm in my house cleaning my wall to wall carpet, just move in, and I'm mopping the dirt out my rug. But the rug's like you got I'm gonna do just that,
Thank you.
Love the cost breakdown. Time or $$$. Which one makes most sense for You 🤔. And never would have thought about the carwash. Ingenious...as Always! ✊🏿
I don't have a yard. This is brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you Lafayette! My goal was to make cleaning your own rug an easy task for everyone. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Yesssss this is so creative. My darn cat sprayed my carpet and left a nasty smell. I will be using this DIY. 😊
Excellent video, but I would have hosed it down again after I hung it on the fence to remove more soap. Leaving soap in something will attract more dirt so it gets dirty faster. I have a 150-gallon LP tank outside, that I draped a rug over, and sprayed it down with my garden hose until no soap ran out. It takes a while to remove the soap.
Love it your Brilliant
Subscribing after watching this!
I’m sure the owners of these car washes will be Very happy for the extra business washing rugs there will give them, especially if you go during a quieter time of the day. Great Job, Regina-- looks like a cordless drill can be a girls best friend. ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I would be discreet and go during off peak hours if you do this. I’m going to do this early before the morning rush hour.
nice job! how long did it take to dry?
