Rug
Cleaning
Even though your rug looks clean, normal settling of dust is
abrasive and will shorten the life of your rug. We recommend
rug cleaning every two years. It is also important to rotate it twice a
year so your area rug get equal amount of traffic and light and wear
evenly.
The area rug cleaning process we use involve through and
comprehensive stages.
First rugs are separated based on being hand made or machine made. Hand
made rugs generally are more sensitive. Rug cleaning and rug
cleaners.
The process of cleaning is as follows:
INSPECTION:
The rug is carefully inspected for damages (i.e. moth-eating, dry-rot,
unraveling, or tearing), in the event of alarming damage. The customer is
notified so further action could be taken to restore the pieces.
DUSTING:
This step is essential in cleaning hand knotted rugs. The reason is because
the rug is built on a woven foundation, as dust gets soiled into the carpet,
the foundation is susceptible to deterioration. By dusting the rug, the dust
within the foundation is brought to surface to cleansed in the steps below.
SOAKING:
Soaking allows for the full saturation of the rug, this step breaks-up
proteins to allow for the full removal of both stains and most odors.
SHAMPOOING:
Our shampoo is made from the finest natural animal fat, and specially
designed to not only thoroughly cleanse the rug, yet also kill all bacteria
in the pile and throughout the foundation.
RINSING:
By using jet pressured water, all shampoo is extinguished from the rug. This
process is important because shampoo residue left in the foundation could
cause damages to the wool.
CONDITIONING:
Wool is much like human hair, conditioning allows for the luster and
softness to be enhanced as well as revitalizing colors in the rug.
DRYING:
After sending the rug through a ringer, it is hung in our drying room for an
8 hour period. This allows for all moisture to be released to again avoid
any risk of dry-rot.
FRINGE CLEANING:
The fringe is given separate attention, a through soap and rinse leaves the
fringe sparking white.
BRUSHING:
A through brushing is done to enhance the softness and consistency of the
pile.
