Oriental Carpet Cleaning Process
Oriental rugs can be cleaned in two ways, either in the home using steam cleaning or at a facility in a pool. There are pros and cons to each to which we will explain.
At Home Oriental Rug Cleaning
If your antique rugs or oriental rugs are made from common, water resistant fabrics like cotton or wool, you can have your rugs cleaned in your home. We offer in-home oriental rug steam cleaning in which we wet-clean the rug right on your home’s floor. This rug shampoo effectively cleans the fibers of the carpet, removing stains and dirt. This is a great option for an individual who wants their oriental or Persian rugs cleaned fast, effectively, and for a lesser price. The negative of at-home steam cleaning is that the backing of the rug is not cleaned, only the top fibers. This can be an issue if you wish to clean a stain, like from a pet accident, that has seeped into the backing.
Take-Away Oriental Rug Cleaning
We recommend a facility clean for high-end rugs, true Oriental or Persian rugs, antique or vintage rugs, handmade rugs, or rugs that you cherish and want to have an incredibly thorough clean. The key difference between in-home and a facility clean is that in a facility, the rug is cleaned from top to bottom, including the backing, whereas in-home only cleans the surface.
Rug Pickup
For off-site cleaning, we come to your home and roll the rug up from your home’s floor and seal it in a plastic rug bag. No heavy lifting for you. We then transport the rug to our state of the art facility which has special oriental rug cleaning machines and chemicals.
Dusting
Initially, before your rug gets wet, we put the carpet through our dusting machines which removes as much dry dust and dirt particles as possible through gentle batting.
Stain Pre-Treatment
Then, we pretreat your rug depending on its issues. If there are smells, we apply a deodorizer. If there are urine stains, we treat those as well. Whatever your rug needs, we’ve got you covered.
Hand Wash
Then, we then place your rug in a shallow pool and wash the rug by hand ensuring a deep, sudsy clean, All the fibers are exposed to shampoo and agitation ensures that all soils are emulsified.
Rinsing
Then, we rinse the rug manually using fresh water to remove any loosened dirt and stains. We squeegee the rug and repeat this step until the water is clean coming out of the rug.
Centrifuge
We put the rug in a professional centrifuge that removes any excess dirt and moisture. This step, only available at a high-end facility, ensures that the rug is quickly dried and doesn't encounter any issues of over-wetting which is especially important for fabrics like soil and art silk.
Spot Check
If any stains remain, we spot treat the stains using special stain removers. If the stain is identified as permenant, we we have to use a color restoration treatment in order to make the stain dissapear.
Hang Dry
Finally, we hang dry your rug in a climate controlled environment. During this time, we also brush the fibers of your rug to ensure ultimate feel, fluffiness, and uniformity.
Free Delivery
Finally, our technicians deliver the rug back to your home and unravel it where it originally was placed.
