 Why Test Area Rugs For Color Fastness Prior To Washing?
Colors bleed on many rugs, both older and more modern pieces. It is always best to know in advance if any colors are unstable. Unstable dyes can be treated to help keep them “attached” to the fibers. Even if you are spot cleaning a small area make sure to only use enough liquid to safely remove the spill or spot. Some rugs can bleed very quickly even if only a small amount of moisture is used.
