We make every effort to determine the origin of your area rug. A close inspection of a rug’s foundation, knots, fringe, kilim, colors, patterns, pile fiber, and pile density give us clues of its origin. Each rug is tested for colorfastness prior to determining a cleaning process. The overall condition of your rug, its origin, colorfastness, and construction will provide us with the information we need to determine the cleaning process. Unlike clothing, we don’t have the luxury of a referencing tag on the back of the rug for cleaning instructions. Our expert rug cleaner will outline cleaning instructions once a pre-cleaning inspection of your rug has been completed.
Wool is designed by nature to hide insoluble substances such as dust, dirt, sand, hair, fiber and many more substances we call “particulates”. More than 75% of all soil in a rug is a particulate and it gets buried deep into millions of tiny pockets called cuticles. If not removed, the particulate will reduce the useful life of your rug. Harnessing over 25,000 harmonic vibrations a minute, our mechanical rug duster removes harmful particulate matter lodged deep in the fibers of your rug.
Rinsing and flushing your rug until the water runs clear leaves no sticky residue behind. In-home rug cleaning leaves behind a chemical residue that can lead to discoloration, quick re-soiling, fading, and possible dye bleed. Without getting too technical, it’s very important to complete the rug cleaning process by leaving your rug in a state in which the dyes remain set. Have you ever left shampoo residue in your hear after showering? Leaving residue in a fine rug for an extended period will damage it.
All rugs have a nape or pile direction. Proper grooming gives your rug the finishing touch it deserves. Have you ever allowed your hair to dry straight out of the shower without brushing or combing? It may be clean but it sure doesn’t look good.
Temperature, humidity, and airflow are critical factors when drying wool rugs. Our drying tower allows warm dry air to encircle the entire rug, expediting the process. Some rugs need to be dried flat. We utilize increased airflow in combination with heat and low humidity to accelerate the process. The area rug cleaning process is not complete until your rug is dry. If you’ve ever left your laundry in the washer for a couple of days, you understand the importance of speeding up the drying process. Area Rugs with Cotton Fringe
Special attention is given to all rugs with cotton fringe preceding the drying process.
In additional to oriental rug cleaning we also offer Upholstery Cleaning.
