If you don't have time to get out the vacuum cleaner - or even a carpet cleaner - to clean your rugs and carpets, you can still get rid of the bulk of the dirt (especially hair and hair) using a squeegee (such as those  used for windows or in the shower).

This also works on the upholstery of armchairs and sofas!

Otherwise, you can use a magic rubbers (melamine foam sponges), which - we remind you - are only used after being wettened and wrung out.
