Abstract: A rug cleaning apparatus to rinse, decontaminate and evacuate fluid or undesirable particulates from the rug with enhanced efficiency is provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a tubular member having a first end, a second end and a side wall, the tubular member having a plurality of openings disposed thereto evenly throughout the side wall, a cap coupled to the second end of the tubular member, and a vacuum coupled to the first end of the tubular member. The tubular member permits the rug to be disposed around the side wall. The vacuum activates to generate sufficient airflow and pressure within the tubular member to draw fluid or undesirable particulates in the rug through the openings of the tubular member and out to the vacuum for a disposal.
