The unique colors and designs of Oriental rugs add a special character to homes. However, the delicate materials and inks used in these rugs require a special type of cleaning for them to last and to retain character and value. Here is why Oriental rugs should only be cleaned by specially trained professionals.
The Challenges of Oriental Rug Cleaning
The maintenance of expensive Oriental rugs deserves an expert touch. Regular foot traffic in your home brings dust, dirt, and other substances that soil rugs. Even ordinary care may put a strain on the materials. For example, advanced dust removal systems provide a far better system than clapping or shaking a rug to remove dirt, and these advanced systems cause less strain to the materials.
Shampooing and other types of machine washing may also have a negative impact on Oriental rugs by leaving soap behind. It would be reasonable to believe a freshly cleaned carpet will stay in good shape for a long time, but shampoos and common soaps actually attract dirt and debris to rugs. Fortunately, innovations in rug cleaning have allowed people to created a system that removes the dirt without having a negative impact Oriental rugs.
Oriental Rug Cleaning in Expert Hands
The process of cleaning an Oriental rug properly is an art form. In fact, there is a Master Rug Cleaner certification that distinguishes the highest level of professional cleaners from the rest. ZEROREZ® employs the only two Master Rug Cleaners in the state of Georgia, both of whom handle the Oriental rugs entering our local facilities.
Before the no-residue cleaning process begins, technicians identify stains and other problem areas on the carpet. Following the inspection, an automated duster is used to remove dirt particles with compressed air rather than manipulating the rug with force. Afterward, the rugs are delicately washed in a 1,200-gallon tank without scrubbing and then rinsed in a centrifuge that reduces the possibility of shrinkage or color fading.
