Wash those Rugs!

Want to save some electricity and get clean rugs? Today is the perfect day! Our crazy Santa Ana winds are blowing hot and dry, so throw those bathroom rugs into the washer, set on a less violent cycle like “Delicate” so the washer won’t go bonkers and then put the rugs outside to dry! What a way to use this weather to make SoCal Edison’s bill a little smaller!! Just drape the rugs over a line or you can even spread them on the lawn or patio. Just make sure they are going to dry “flat.” Use the direct sunlight for white or beige rugs, and shade for the colors. Remember the sun will bleach anything in its direct beam, which is good when you need it and bad when you don’t. Some rugs have been known to fly away in 40 mph winds, so check them in a couple of hours to see if they are dry yet. And this evening, you will have clean bathroom rugs smelling of that delightful SoCal sun!
