When it comes to cleaning Oriental rugs, it's essential to understand the delicate fibers and weaving techniques used to make them. This knowledge helps you tailor a gentle and effective cleaning approach.
At Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care, we know that harsh chemical cleaners are a big no-no because they can strip fibers of their natural oils, causing irreversible damage.
Instead, we recommend a low-moisture cleaning method that reduces the risk of water damage and preserves the rug's intricate fibers and structure.
Before we start cleaning, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify hidden stains, pre-existing conditions, and special requirements. This step is crucial to ensure we provide appropriate care for your rug.
Delicate Fibers Require Gentle
Delicate fibers in Oriental rugs require gentle care to prevent damage and preserve their intricate patterns and vibrant colors. At Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care, the type of fiber used, such as wool, silk, or cotton, determines the level of care needed.
Even the weaving technique, like hand-knotting or hand-tufting, affects how we clean the rug. For example, a hand-knotted rug made of wool might need a more delicate cleaning process than a hand-tufted rug made of cotton.
To choose the right cleaning method, it's essential to understand the specific fibers and techniques used in the rug.
Avoid Harsh Chemical Damage
Many owners of Oriental rugs have unintentionally ruined their valuable possessions by using harsh chemical cleaners. These chemicals can strip the fibers of their natural oils, causing irreversible damage. This can lead to fading, discoloration, and loss of texture, ultimately affecting the rug's appearance and value.
To prevent such damage, it's essential to test the fabric before using any cleaning products. Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care experts recommend applying a small amount of the cleaner to an inconspicuous area of the rug to check for any adverse reactions. By doing so, you can confirm color retention and prevent damage to the delicate fibers.
