Oriental rugs lend elegance and beauty to any home decor, but they also rank as one of the most delicate flooring choices. Cleaning Oriental rugs improperly can result in permanent damage to the expensive material. Here are the top four reasons why you should consider having your rugs cleaned by trained professionals.
Proper Dirt Removal Technique
To prevent a buildup of soil on your Oriental rugs, vacuum frequently, especially if they are located in high-traffic areas of your home. However, vacuuming will not remove all of the accumulated dust and debris. Professional rug cleaners have the proper equipment to handle this step of the cleaning process. After inspecting your rug for spots or stains, the ZEROREZ® rug cleaners use an automated machine known as a rug duster that blows compressed air and gently taps the back of the rug to loosen dry dirt and debris before washing. This method also places less strain on the rug than traditional methods of beating or shaking the material.
Prevent Dye Run
The dyes used to color Oriental rugs may react to chemical cleaning agents or overwetting. When an incorrect cleaning solution is applied to your rug, the colors may bleed together. This is known as dye run. ZEROREZ® uses ZR Clean ™ to safely clean your rug without shampoos and soaps. After your rug has been washed, ZEROREZ® spin dries all Oriental rugs using a 900 rpm centrifuge designed to further prevent dye run.
Gentlest Cleaning Method
According to the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, normal steam cleaners are "at best marginally effective and at worst could cause irreparable damage to the rug." Rather than using a brush or steam cleaner and running the risk of marring your delicate Oriental rugs, ZEROREZ® uses a special star paddle to deep clean. Dirt and dust will be removed without the need to scrub or brush over the rug. This innovative cleaning system is part of the reason why ZEROREZ® has earned a Platinum Certification from the Carpet and Rug Institute.
Reduces Rug Buckling and Shrinkage
Excess shrinkage or buckling may occur when cleaning Oriental rugs improperly. To prevent excess water from damaging your rugs, ZEROREZ® uses a spin-dry process that significantly cuts down on drying time and reduces the effects of prolonged dampness.
