How to clean a moldy outdoor rug. A couple of weeks ago I got my courtyard at the #1905Cottage all spruced up for Spring. Over the winter leaves had gotten trapped and snow had piled up to create a moldy mess! And my rug was under all of that. I didn’t get it rolled up and put away in time. So as I was cleaning up the space I wondered if the rug could be salvaged. It had stains from the leaves decomposing over the winter.
I decided to clean it and see what happened. So here’s my experience cleaning a moldy outdoor rug. Clean a Moldy Rug Spring Cleaning Tips.
Supplies:

Clean a Moldy Rug Spring Cleaning Tips
First I tried using dish soap first because it is gentle. I took the rug into my driveway and sprayed it down with water. I put a few squirts of dish soap in a bucket and filled it with water. Then I scrubbed the rug with a stiff brush that had a long handle. After the whole rug was scrubbed, I rinsed it off with the hose.
I discovered that the rug was cleaner but there were still stains. So I got serious. I
I emptied out the bucket and filled it with two cup of bleach and 10 cups of water. Then I tested a small section of the rug to make sure that it was color safe. After seeing that the bleach didn’t fade the pattern on the rug, I sprayed the rug down again with water and then scrubbed it with the bleach solution. I left the solution on the rug for about half an hour and then I rinsed it off again. This time I could see the yellow stains running off the rug with the water.
I also scrubbed my cement with a solution with twice as much bleach – so 4 cups of bleach with 10 cups of water and my cement looks good now!
I did this twice and then I let the rug rest in the sun for the rest of the afternoon. When it was dry it looked just like it had when I bought it two summers ago. I was so pleased.

Many chemicals can be highly dangerous when mixed together. Therefore, I use green cleaning products that do by myself. Such organic cleaning products won’t harm you, your family, or your pets, cause they are chemical-free.
The best green cleaning recipe I have found is for acarpet. All you need are of baking soda and essential oils! I usually use lemon or peppermint, they are really fresh.
That’s such a great idea! Thanks Kaylee!!
