About rug cleaning

            Most rugs need only to be cleaned yearly but it may depend on how much dirt and soil has built-up with use. Household rugs can last very long time with the proper care and the most common rug damages can be remedied when appropriate rug cleaning and repair techniques are applied or when taken cared of by certified rug cleaning professionals.  

            There are a lot of ways in keeping your rugs healthy, clean, and long-lasting.  Some generic rugs made out of simple fibers are usually easy to clean but some hand-woven rugs such as the Oriental rugs may require a bit more care when it comes to rug cleaning.  Silk rugs are also more delicate than generic rugs sold in supermarkets and furniture stores in and should be subjected to professional rug cleaning. 

            When it comes to proper rug cleaning, there are some things you need to bear in mind.  First, try to avoid getting dirt on them if you find it burdensome to clean them or if you haven’t got a lot of time to do it. This can be done by limiting shoe traffic (especially if your coming from outdoors) because shoes are common transmitters of dirt and soil and can drive dirt deeper which even the best vacuum cleaner might not be able to reach.  Second, when dealing with spills and stains, be sure not to wait a moment longer as they may be harder to clean or remove once the spill/stain has dried up or crusted over. Be sure to wash the affected area/s with warm water.  Mix a mild soap or cleaning agent with the water if spill or stain becomes hard to remove. Third, if you plan on cleaning the whole rug by yourself, try to follow the rug cleaning instructions usually found on the rug’s tag to avoid mishaps such as colour runs and fiber fallouts.  Always remember to dry your rugs properly so as not to attract bacteria and to avoid unpleasant odours. Last but not the least, consult with rug cleaning professionals if you’re having a hard time cleaning your rug. Rug cleaning professionals are well-versed with the safest and most effective rug cleaning methods and will know how to deal with and repair damages caused by moths, some Colour runs, and other rug damages. When choosing a rug cleaning company, look for one that has operated long enough and one that’s a member of the nation carpet cleaners association and can offer rug repair.
