The Secret’s Out – This is the BEST Way to Clean Area Rugs – Prescott AZ

The Secret’s Out – This is the BEST Way to Clean Area Rugs – Prescott AZ

Hi folks!  I’m Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care and I know that there are about fifteen different answers to the question ‘what’s the right way to clean rugs?’  So the real question needs to be ‘what’s the BEST way to clean Persian and Oriental rugs?

Well…The best type of cleaning depends on the type of rug.

Wool & Silk knotted rugs benefit the most from full-submersion cleaning with fresh water and cleaning solutions developed specifically for wool & silk fibers.

There are always exceptions to that rule, however!  There may be unstable dyes that most certainly would not benefit from full-submersion.  Or maybe the foundation of the rug itself wouldn’t benefit from that kind of cleaning.  Our hand-cleaning method is much better suited for these kinds of rugs.

Antique tapestry rugs require a gentle, light cleaning with a hand tool where we can have higher control over the moisture and suction used.

Here at our rug washing facility at Arizona Oriental, we first perform a thorough pre-cleaning inspection on every rug before even beginning the washing process.  This pre-inspection allows our experienced and skilled rug washers to determine the EXACT cleaning method that we need to use on each rug.

Home cleaning services (like your wall-to-wall carpet cleaner) don’t have the luxury of offering a full-submersion wash for area rugs or even really knowing if the dyes in your rug will be unstable or not.  This is why having your rugs cleaned by professional rug experts at Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care is REALLY the best way to clean area rugs.  Knowing your limits is a great first step in correctly cleaning your Persian, Oriental, and even Navajo area rugs!

Till next time, enjoy your beautiful art for your floor and remember a clean rug is a rug that can last you a lifetime!
