Oriental Rug Cleaning 
How We Care for Your RugsWe take pride in cleaning carpets
and floors, but we're great rug cleaners, too. We can clean your Persian
and Oriental rugs, as well as the other types of rugs you may have.
When it comes to your rugs, we take the greatest care.
In
cleaning your rugs, we make sure to first determine the type of rug you
have. This involves examining how the rug was woven together, the glues
used to hold the rug together (some rugs do not use a glue to keep the
weave together), the fabric type, and the type of dye used for coloring
the fabric. This allows us to make sure we use the proper cleaning
solutions that will be tough on the dirt but not on your rug. Then we'll
clean your rugs using a method similar to our carpet cleaning process. What You Can Do To Care for Your RugsWhile
you should have the rugs in your home cleaned periodically by a
professional, there are a few things that you can do which will help
keep your rug looking great. First, just like carpets, vacuuming a
rug weekly will help keep dirt and grime from getting pushed deep into
the fiber. It may also be wise to vacuum the back of the rugs in your
home a few times a year. Another step to take, since most rugs are on a
hard surface, like a hardwood floor, is sweeping the floor often which
reduces dust that could gather onto the rug. Since you want to protect
the surface underneath the rug as well, use a non-slip pad to prevent
the rug from scratching and damaging the surface. This also helps with
preventing falls caused by a rug sliding out from under some one.
Lastly, if a spill occurs on your rug, make sure that both the floor
underneath the rug and the rug itself are completely dry before putting
it back onto the floor. Rug HistoryThe history and origin
of rugs goes back as far as 5,000 years ago when people wanted
something to make the cold dirt floors warmer. The design of rugs has
evolved drastically from those first rugs made, but much of the
materials used to make rugs and their uses hasn't changed as much. Many
area rugs are still made from wool and are used to help make the floor
in your home warmer and more inviting. Types of RugsThere
are many types of rugs, as well as materials that are used to make
them. Rugs can be made from natural materials-such as wool, synthetic
materials-like acrylic fibers, or a combination of the two. The same
applies to the coloring or dyes used to bring color to a rug. That's why
it's important to have a professional cleaner come in and examine the
area rug to determine the best cleaning process. Area rugs come in
all sorts of shapes and sizes. But the more expensive types of rugs are
the Persian and Oriental rugs. The difference between the two is
important to note. Oriental rugs are made in countries within Asia,
while Persian rugs are made exclusively in Iran. Since a Persian rug is
made in Iran, it's also an Oriental rug. This means that a Persian rug
is an Oriental rug, but an Oriental rug might not be a Persian rug. Call Us Today To Find Out MoreWhile
