MAKING YOUR
| RUGS LAST

UNFORTUNATELY for our
" rugs 1t is not customary in
this country to remove shoes
before entering a house or be-
fore stepping upon floor cover.
ings. and as consequence much
sand, grit, dust and grease be-
come imbedded In our rugs. The
daily or weekly cleaning with
vacuum cleaner or CARPET
sweeper and broom Is necessary TO
remove the surface dirt. A more
thorough cleaning, once a year
il necessary, first out of doors
and then with soap and water,
will remove al of the gritty
particles as well as any greasy
substance which may have gotten
on the rug.
If riggs .are not kept thoroughly
clean when they are walked upon
or when furniture Is placed upon
them the surface fibers are bent
over the sharp, gritty particles
and may thus be cut or weakened.
When the rug is cleaned, the cut
or weakened fibers are gradually
removed in the process, finally
leaving a threadbare spot on the
rug.
Clothes moths may cause SINH
lar threadbare spots by cutting
the pile of the carpet or rug as
they feed upon it. In addition to
these causes for the wearing out
of carpets and rugs, there is, Of
course, the natural wearing out
process caused by the friction of
moving feet clad in leather soled
shoes The pile OF the carpet is
bent first in one direction and
then in another and is inevitably
worn off. There is no help for
such a situation except to keep
floor coverings as clean as pos
sible and, If it can be done con-
yeniently. to change lines of travel
or shift floor coverings SO that
worn spots are changed from
place to place.
A vacuum cleaner is the ideal
piece of equipment for caring for
rugs.
One way traffic should be the
rule for vacuum cleaners and the
speed limit enforced. In rugs in
which the pile originally stands
straight up. the nap should be en-
couraged to line in one general di-
rection. A rug will appear to
have greater depth of nap and
color If the pile points toward the
strongest light in the room. Con-
sequently, rugs having figured
light, rugs of one color, and no
design also should be placed with
the direction of the pile away
from the strongest light, so that
footmarks and other disturbances
to its surface will not show up as
distinctly.
Grease spots on rugs are not
only unsightly, but attract moths.
Small grease spots may he re.
moved IL quantity of fullers'
earth is applied Immediately to
the spot.
