I bought a used rug recently that smells.
What is the rug made out of? Wool? Polypropelyne?
Nylon? Do you have a yard that you can stake
the thing out in, or are you limited to the cleaning
you can do in an apartment?
The first thing to do, if you can,
is hang the thing outside for a
couple days, let the sun and air at it,
and beat the crap out of it.
What you do after that depends on what
it's made out of. You probably
don't want to put peroxide on a wool
rug, for instance.
