Once the rug is thoroughly rinsed, wring out as much excess water as you can. This can be achieved by carefully rolling the rug tightly or by pressing the water out. Then, hang the rug over your outdoor cleaning station setup (benches, sturdy wall, or a clothesline) in an area with good air circulation and, if suitable for the rug material, direct sunlight. Allow the rug to air dry completely. This drying process can take a couple of days, depending on the rug's thickness, material, and environmental conditions. Ensuring it is fully dry is essential to prevent mildew and unpleasant odors.
