we have one small yellow oriental rug, and a big red oriental rug. we've just been cleaning the wood floors and walls for urine stains since we can't really see the urine in the rug so weve been ingoring the rug for a while because we don't really use the living room. but recently ive been sleeping in the living room and the stench is just so unbearable. ive browsed sites and said vinegar,peroxide,bakingsoda are good for carpets but what about rugs? and i think the rug is wool
ive just did alitte more search and said.. any dried products aren't good for rugs. such as baking soda
Your best bet may be to take it to a dry cleaner. If it is wool you will be limited on what you can do to it without harming the rug. While it is at the cleaners make sure you thoroughly clean the flooring under the rug.
I had this happen to me once and since the antique rug was so huge I had no way to get it to a cleaners. First I applied an enzyme carpet pre-treatment especially for urine/pet stains and then I steam cleaned the rug with hot water. I used the pre-treatment and shampoo they sell with the steam cleaner. I had to do this twice. Then I sprayed a lot of Fabreze on both sides of the rug and on the floor underneath the rug. I use a box fan and a ceiling fan to dry it. It was a big job but the rug smells as fresh as can be now. If you try this be sure to test a small hidden area to make sure the material is colorfast. Good luck!

Selecting the Perfect Area Rug
The right rug: A well-chosen rug enhances your color scheme, in addition to absorbing sound in a hardwood room.
You're in luck if you pull up your green shag carpeting and uncover a hardwood treasure. But what do you do with those naked floors?
If your floor is in good shape, you may want to leave it uncovered. If you do so, it's important to put stick-on felt pads on the feet of your chairs and place small, washable throw rugs at high traffic areas (under the kitchen sink, the front door, etc.) to increase the life of your floor.
If your newly revealed floor is in bad shape, you don't necessarily have to re-carpet or refinish the hardwood. There are several less expensive options:
- Install tile only in the high-traffic areas showing damage, leaving the remainder of the hardwood intact.
- Hire a hardwood repair specialist to spot-replace and re-stain warped, burnt or gauged areas.
- Lay area rugs over the damaged zones. The Selection Process
There are several advantages to using large area rugs on your hardwood flooring:
- The room will feel warmer and look more "pulled together" when anchored by a rug.
- Rugs help absorb the increased noise and echoes generated in a room with hardwood flooring.
- A well-chosen floor covering enhances your color scheme and the decor of the room.
- Your floors will be protected from scratches and wear.
The first step in selecting the appropriate rug is to determine where you want to put it and the size you'll need. Make sure you have your furniture in the best arrangement possible for the room. Lay newspapers down on the floor and begin covering the area needing the carpet. Start small and keep laying down paper until you find what looks like the best coverage. Establish minimum and maximum acceptable sizes and jot this down. (Most rugs come in standard sizes but there are variations, so it helps to know the range of sizes that could work in the room.)
The rug should enhance the room's decor by echoing its color scheme and style and should be an integral part of the overall design, not the focal point. Stand in the room needing the rug and make note of its one, two or three predominant colors. Then determine the room's style or period (French Country, Modern, Early American, etc). Knowing the room's colors and the style will help you narrow your choices.
Decide on a solid versus a patterned rug,such as handmade area rugs,silk rugs,persian rugs,oriental rugs,wool rugs etc. Solid colored rugs calm the eye, but show spots and lint more easily. A patterned rug adds visual interest and hides soil well, but finding one to match your existing furnishings may be a challenge.
Next, determine your budget. When I was looking for my perfect living room rug (with an 8-foot by 10-foot minimum and a 9-foot by 12-foot maximum), I wanted to spend less than $750 but was prepared to pay up to $1,000. After a two-month search, I ended up with a close-to-perfect-rug for $625, delivered. I could have settled for a $350 alternative, but felt the additional $375 was a worthwhile investment. A Range of Sources
Once you know your budget, your colors and your style, you're ready to hunt down the rug of your dreams. Many retail furniture stores also carry area rugs that you can take home and try out. Try to save money by purchasing your rug during a sale. Inexpensive Alternatives
- Recycle your old wall-to-wall carpeting. Lay out the carpeting on your driveway and determine what section of the rug could be re- used. Use masking tape to outline the area you want cut and trimmed. Take the carpet to a carpet company willing to do the lacing and - voila - a "new" area rug for the cost of the stitching!
- Try garage or estate sales. You can find new, antique or imported rugs at a flea markets, often at a good price.
- Furniture consignment shops sometimes carry high-quality used carpets at a fraction of the new cost.
