The best and simplest way to remove debris from your rug at home is to sweep or broom and maintain your rug regularly by vacuuming using suction only- no beater brush.
If liquid is spilled on a Persian rug or Oriental rug, blot with a cloth, paper towel, or sponge. Do not rub the spill into the rug fibers. All rugs must have padding underneath. Not only will your rug not slip, but padding also prevents scratching and color transfer to the underlying surface.
