Proper Cleaning
Natural fiber rugs, such as wool and silk, are very good at hiding soil. This means that it “looks” clean longer. The danger is that this hidden soil acts like sandpaper against the fibers every time it is walked on. This often goes unnoticed until it is too late. If you rub the fibers of the rug with your hand for a few seconds and see dust flying, this is a clear indication that the rug needs to be cleaned. The proper time to clean your oriental rug can depend on where it is placed in your house. If it is in a heavily trafficked area, the best protocol would be to get it cleaned once a year at a minimum. If it is not in a busy space of your home, then a cleaning service can last up to three years.
Protective Products
While some people may try to clean their oriental rugs themselves, using the wrong products can damage the fibers, cause the rug to dry unevenly, or even cause color loss in your rug. At Koala T, we pride ourselves on using the safest, most effective cleaning products for each rug we come across.
Prolonged Life
Routine cleaning with the best products can extend the life of your oriental rug. Oriental rugs can be one of the most expensive investments for the look of your home, so prolonging the life of the rug ensures an even better investment. We recommend vacuuming regularly using a very soft bristled beater bar on your vacuum. Also, you need to ensure that the bristles are barely coming in contact with tips of the face yarn. The beater bar plays a vital role in vibrating the dirt particles to the surface of the rug. Be aware to stay away from the fringe of the rug while vacuuming as it can get caught in the beater bar and cause damage.
Professional Service
When it comes to specialized area rugs such as oriental rugs, it is highly recommended to use a professional cleaning service to prevent any harm or damage to your rug. Our team of experienced professionals at Koala T Carpet Cleaning treat every job with the utmost care for the best quality cleaning.
