Our shop has received a rug that a customer sent in. To her surprise, a significant quantity of fine white powder was underneath the tufted rug when she lifted it.
Hi, it’s Ruthie from Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care in Prescott AZ once again!
For the better part of a decade, she had this rug in the same spot under her coffee table. The customer had new hardwood installed in her living room and asked us to clean her rug before she put it back down, hoping that this would solve the powdering problem.
Here you'll learn about the problems that necessitate the services of an Oriental rug cleaner in Prescott Valley.
An Oriental Rug Cleaner in Prescott Valley Breaks Down Tufted Rugs
My client has what is called a tufted rug. A tufted rug is a rug that weaving strands of yarn have created through a fabric backing.
A layer of latex glue is applied to the rug's back to secure the stray tufts, and a piece of monk's cloth is then attached to cover the adhesive and complete the rug's appearance.
Many do not know that tufted rugs aren't constructed to last if hand-knotted area rugs.
The latex glue in these rugs degrades after about ten years, turning into a powder that eventually works out of the carpet and onto your floor. This is what the client discovered under her rug: a latex pad designed to flatten the rug's tufts.
Area Rug Repair & Cleaning in Prescott Valley
A tufted area rug with these signs of use can be replaced or restored. If you really like the rug, it may be difficult to find a suitable replacement. Finding your room's exact dimensions, paint scheme, and furnishings can be challenging.
Restoring your rug means you can use it for years to come, which may make it the better choice.
Before professionally cleaning your rug, you should cut off the covering and chip away at the old, dried-up adhesive. The rug's backing is then reattached with new latex glue and a replacement fabric.
