Best method to clean large jute rug?
I have a 6 x 9 jute rug under our dining table that has become very dingey and spotty. Any suggestions on the easiest method to clean?

Here is a suggestion……………….
Question: How do I clean a jute rug without damaging it?
Answer: Jute is a rough, strawlike fiber derived from the jute plant, a native of south and southeast Asia. It often is used to make ropes and burlap bags as well as rustic woven rugs.
Jute is similar in appearance to sisal, another natural plant fiber, and can present many of the same challenges when it comes to cleaning. Jute rots when exposed to moisture, and so should be used only in dry areas of the house and cleaned with the utmost care.
The best way to maintain the appearance of a jute rug is to vacuum religiously, on both sides of the rug as well as the floor beneath. This way you’ll eliminate surface dirt before it is ground into the fibers. Also, avoid placing jute rugs in high-traffic areas, and use doormats – one on each side of each door – to catch dirt on the bottom of shoes before it gets tracked inside.
Take a conservative approach to removing stains from your rugs. Some jute rugs can be cleaned with carpet cleaner or a mild soap and water, but test first in an inconspicuous spot to see how the fibers hold up. Work at a stain with a sponge or soft-bristled brush, but don’t scrub. Once the soap is rinsed out, dry the rug as quickly as possible – it’s best to do this on a sunny, breezy day. To allow air to circulate, drape the rug over a clothesline or porch railing.
