Tips for Care and Maintenance

Proper care and preventative maintenance of your prized Oriental rugs can save thousands in cleaning costs and extend their lifespan and vibrancy. With the right approach, these cherished rugs can be preserved as family heirlooms.

Regular, thorough cleaning is essential for keeping your rug in top condition. We recommend entrusting this task to professionals who use specialized techniques to protect the rug's integrity and restore its original look and feel.

The Cleaning Process

1. Pre-Inspection: Experienced technicians examine both the front and back of the rug, ensuring no blemishes or defects are overlooked. You'll be informed of the rug’s condition following the inspection.

2. Dust Removal: Dust must be removed properly and periodically to prevent damage. Ordinary home vacuums can’t reach deep into rug fibers. Compressed air is used to remove particulates without harming the colors or fibers, requiring specialized equipment.

3. Hand-Washing: Professional hand-washing involves a submersion bath process. Underwater air pressure and gentle jet agitation are used to clean the rug thoroughly.

4. Rinsing: After cleaning, the rug is rinsed to remove soil and cleaning agents. Proper drying is crucial; rugs are gently dried in a specially designed, atmosphere-controlled room to prevent damage.

5. Detailing: The rug is detailed to remove any remaining foreign matter. Careful attention is given to dyes and fibers, and the fringes are rinsed and combed.

Fabric Protection

Sheep produce a natural protective agent for their wool. Once sheared, wool and silk fibers lack this protection, making them susceptible to staining and deterioration. A protective sealing process, resistant to fading and sun degradation, can be applied to safeguard the fibers.

Special Circumstances

Pets, high humidity, and certain environmental factors can lead to issues like mildew, mold, mites, insect infestations, and unpleasant odors. These problems can detract from the beauty and value of an Oriental rug. Professionals are trained to address each specific issue with specialized treatments.
