Will it work on Oriental rugs without damaging the fringe or getting entangled in the fringe?

No so much ... depends on the length of the fringe ... It can get sucked up and stall the machine... I have Oriental throw rugs and it gets hung up on them ... so I take them up ...

It will get entangled on the fringe, as well as a regular vacuum would. I don't know how much damage it would do to the fringe. If it gets entangled. it will shut down if it can't get unstuck. If the fringe delicate and not knotted well, I assume it would pull some of the fringe out. However as I said, normally if the brush gets entangled, it will shutdown and set there and beep until you untangle the bursh. It also does not like little thin flimsy throw rugs. It will get entangled on the edges.

I would think you could. It puts a thin layer on whatever you spray it on. I have used it on several different types of throw rugs and all worked fine.

It's great on a plush carpet because it lifts dust & debris to the surface as well as lifting the fibers & makes vacuuming more effective, but I wouldn't try it on a woven or a hand knotted rug.I also use it for a quick refresh in between vacuuming, to lift the fibers matted/ covered/ protected by a entry rug, & in high traffic areas just before company arrives.

i wouldn't see why not, i would however try it out a very small area of the rug before using it on the whole thing, to ensure it didn't change the colour or something....but should work like a charm to brighten it back to its original colour/get rid of grime and dirt. you could always check on the resolve website as well D:good luck and happy cleaning.

Sorry,didn't use it on rugs.I used it to clean mold off outside furniture. Worked great!

honestly, I wouldn't try it. it does work great on my rugs and upholstery but they can also be cleaned with a water based solution.However, it is a very good question and I will see if I have anything like that and can give it a try in a non conspicuous spot and let you know what I find out

No, I would not recommend this for rugs. Even on hardwood I find it barely adequate. I do not like the shape of the foot piece.

I have them on the bottom of rugs on laminate flooring and there is no damage. Granted, they don't work at all for rugs. But I don't believe it will damage the flooring at all, even when used with something heavier than a rug...

NO! I used it on a completely white wool rug. It did not stain or discolor.

Yes it will but with that said, use only on white or light cream carpet as it will bleach out on some colors. Test it some place very small first.

It will absolutely get caught in the fringe. Even when it doesn't, it doesn't celan that well. It won't get cat har off a rug, so I'm guessing dog hair won't be any better. Basically, I'd say don't waste your money, but if you do get it at a store and get the in-store replacement warranty - you'll need it.

i cant imagine why you couldnt. just be sure you get into the little squiggle places of the braids. should work fine. when the rug is cleaned, it will wash out and need to be redone.

It may or may not keep your rugs down. I have a 3x7' rug on top of carpet, and it doesn't move. However, I have a oriental 5x8' rug on top of the same carpet, and it still bubbles up in spots on the edges. I had this same oriental rug on top of other carpet in a previous house and the rug never moved, even without tape. I don't think I would buy this tape again. I'd need something stronger. I think a lot of depends on the type of carpet and the type of rug. I don't think it leaves a residue but I'm not positive as I haven't removed a rug yet.

It depends. There must be some elevation of the carpet for Scooba to bump into and change direction. Fringe on a rug tends to confuse it. Scooba comes with a light beam gadget that will prevent Scooba from going into an area you choose.

I use it on a rug and it works great. I would imagine it would work but hard to say for sure if you have very plush carpet.

I can't answer the question since I don't know what would be considered "good" for an Oriental rug. The teeth are shorter than the one I had previously, though.
