Snow usually stops things from happening. Kids can't go to school. Public transport gets cancelled. Even walking down the street becomes difficult. But, as it turns out, there are some things best left until it's snowing, such as cleaning your vintage rugs.
We all know a vintage rug scores you major style points when it comes to adding character and charm, but it can also, by its very nature, bring with it decades of dirt, dust, and debris that can be particularly challenging to get rid of without ruining the natural fibers. That's why, when it comes to cleaning rugs like this, for centuries, European cultures have been turning to the snow to help naturally lift dirt, dust, and oils without damaging their vintage rugs.
