How do I get my rug cleaned?

Answer:

Depending on the type of rug you own, a professional cleaner will either come to your home or recommend in-plant cleaning. Typically, specialty (handmade) and oriental style rugs need to be cleaned by professional in-plant cleaning service.
Either rent a carpet shampooer or have it professionally done.
Vacuum your rug on both sides of the same to its original position. Then you can hang the rug and beat all the remaining dirt and dust.
The best way to keep your area rug looking its best is once a month flip it upside down and vacuum the back of the rug. It is okay to use a beater bar/rotating brush vacuum on the back of a wool rug, on the front it is recommended to only use suction. The beater bar/rotating brush sucks up the small fine wool fibers wearing away your wool rug. For synthetic area rugs it is fine to use the beater bar/rotating brush vacuum on the front and back of the rug.
