Why is Regular Rug-Cleaning So Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the way an Oriental rug is made, dirt can easily become embedded in its deepest layers. Grime that begins on the surface of the rug is trampled down when people walk on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you may be able to remove dirt from the surface level, you need a professional cleaner to perform a deep clean. Otherwise, the dirt can take on an abrasive quality and cause damage to your rug over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Clean My Own Oriental Rug?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can clean the surface level of your rug<\/a> by vacuuming it gently at least once a week using the upholstery attachment. When you vacuum, you should drag the attachment in the direction of the pile only, avoiding the delicate fringe.

Should someone spill on your rug, take immediate action to prevent a permanent stain. A blend of white vinegar, dish soap, and warm water should remove it. Don\u2019t use any harsh cleaning materials that could cause your rug\u2019s colors to bleed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Oriental Rug Cleaning<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to deep-cleaning your rug, it\u2019s advisable to trust the professionals. They have the tools and techniques to extract any dry soil that has become embedded before they apply moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional cleaners have purpose-built cleaning products that won\u2019t harm the natural dyes of your Oriental rug. They\u2019ll dry the rug rapidly to remove water at every level before it becomes mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may also add a fiber protector at the end of the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
