Area Rug Cleaning

With proper care, handmade Oriental and Area rugs can last for a lifetime. Because of their complexity and value, rugs should not be trusted in the hands of just anyone. The need to be cleaned and restored by trained and knowledgeable IICRC certified professionals with effective cleaning procedures.

Before cleaning any rug, it is important to determine its origin, age, dyeing methods, previous repair and care, and construction. Improperly cleaned rugs can bleed, shrink, experience fiber deterioration and ultimately, lose their beauty and value. Typical rug cleaning services are appropriate for broadloom or wall-to-wall carpeting only, and are not gentle or thorough enough for most Oriental and specialty area rugs.

How to Care for your Area Rugs

Vacuuming - Oriental rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure not to vacuum the fringe with your beater bar! Use the end of a vacuum hose from a canister vacuum.

Padding - A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear and slippage.
