The routine maintenance of your rug is one of the most important aspects of cleaning. Choosing a qualified cleaning company is the next, improper identification and procedures can be costly and frustrating. We recommend all wool and natural fiber rugs be brought in to our facility. If you are offered the opportunity to clean your hand made rugs in your home along with your synthetic wall to wall rugs with the same procedure you are you are being misled. Spotting can be done and is encouraged by our company. Accidents can and will happen, when they do, blot the spot rinse water (just water) and blot again, resist the temptation to get the over the counter spotters out they more often do more damage. An accident on a four thousand dollar rug is an emergency please feel free to call our emergency line for helpful hints and immediate service if needed.

In Days gone by rugs were cleaned by taking them outside and hanging them across a line and beating (dusting) them. This may be considered old school but the desired effects haven’t changed. When the Kids or Mothers and Grandmothers did this, in the sunshine the dirt and dust would poof out of the rug. Their effort was rewarding with every whack seeing it start to shine again.

We see this in our shop daily The reality is there are few folks that have the time in our daily busy schedules for this type of effort.

The majority of soil in a carpet is dry, insoluble, particulate matter. This dry soil is often abrasive and will harm carpet fiber, fine particulate matter (dirt) dust allergens and that other nasty stuff. If not removed, under the weight of movement and foot traffic, these particulate soils cut and scratch carpet fibers resulting in premature wear.

Distinctive multi colored woven wool area rugs get dirty just like a wall to wall synthetics, though they absorb stains easier than synthetics, they tend to hide a lot of soil, they should be vacuumed often with a HEPA filtered vacuum, if the vacuum has a agitator brush or wheel this should be raised just above the pile height of the rug this will not fatigue or shed the pile prematurely.
