Viscose Rug Cleaning
Viscose rugs are very difficult to clean due to the nature of fibers’ composition. Viscose is made from cellulose, the material that comes from trees, and browns, just like paper would, when wet. PristineGreen specializes in viscose rug cleaning to prevent rug browning when wet and also to repair browning spots.
Viscose Rug Cleaning
Viscose water stain, also known as viscose yellowing or browning, comes from a chemical reaction of water with the fibers of the carpet. This chemical reaction is often permanent and many homeowners are shocked to find out how fragile and impractical their expensive viscose rugs are. From simply leaving a potted plant on the corner of the rug to a dog urine stain on the viscose rug, these yellow marks are becoming commonplace in our work.
Facility Cleaning
At PristineGreen, we specialize in wool viscose blend and full viscose rug cleaning to both prevent and remove viscose area rug yellowing and water stains. We will take away your viscose rug for 7-10 days, to have it cleaned in our facility. In the facility, using viscose rug cleaning solutions and careful handwork, we can effectively clean viscose area rugs. We can also then apply a viscose rug protector on the fibers to prevent re-soiling.
Stain Removal
Want those yellow stains gone from your viscose rug? We have special tools and techniques, acquired from years of experience working with this difficult fabric to remove yellow stains.
Color Restoration
As yellowing stains are from a chemical reaction rather than a material embedded in the fibers of viscose, stain removal is very difficult. If we aren’t able to remove the yellow or browning, we can apply a color restoration treatment which will bleach the affected area and then by hand, we re-dye the spots with matching color. In this way, we can restore your rug to like-new condition.
