CLEANING YOUR ORIENTAL RUG THE CORRECT WAY

When cleaning that expensive rug you should leave it to the professionals

Oriental carpets are exceptionally exquisite works of woven art that have historically been created by the tribe's female members over the course of several months or even years. Large sums of money can be made through the sale of these rugs. As a result, when it comes to cleaning Oriental carpets, only a qualified expert with knowledge in oriental rug cleaning should handle the job. As soon as you put them down in your house, they should be taken care of.

What Is An Oriental Rug Made Of

Wool, cotton, and silk are some common fibres used to weave oriental rugs. Natural colours will be employed in the weaving of oriental rugs. This indicates that they are produced from fruits, vegetables, and other wild plants. Therefore, utilising harsh cleaning agents, low-cost rental equipment, and low-quality cleaning supplies from supermarkets might harm the rug's fibres and colours. The lighter colours of the rug may absorb and migrate the darker dyes. A skilled rug cleaner can fix this, but it will cost money to do so. Because of this, it is strongly advised that everyone who owns an oriental rug have it cleaned on a regular basis by a qualified oriental rug cleaner.

Many oriental rugs include symbols that tell a story and many have been handed down from generation to generation. They have been around for thousands of years. Numerous nomadic tribes will weave their own carpets, as well as rugs made in villages and cities that are nicer and more intricate.

Typically, Oriental rugs are made in nations like India, China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and so on. Specifically, Persian rugs are produced in Iran today, which was once Persia.

Early Oriental carpets would have been cleaned in rivers close to the weaving communities, using the fast-moving section of the river to expel dirt from the rug. Once the rug has been exposed to the sun to dry, it won't take long for it to dry in the temperate nations where it was woven.

Machines and cleaning agents are used to try to recreate the cleaning of Oriental rugs using modern cleaning methods. Professional oriental rug cleaners will vibrate out all of the dry soil from the rug's deep pile using a dusting machine. After that, the rug will be put in a cold-water washing pit where it will be immersed in water and cleaning solution. To help get rid of odours and tough dirt, rotary machines with soft brushes will go over the front and back of the rug. Following completion of this procedure, the oriental rug is thoroughly rinsed with countless gallons of cold water to remove all dirt and cleaning shampoo.

To remove as much of the soiled water as possible, the rug will subsequently be put into a spinning machine or subjected to an extraction equipment. The rug is then hung in a drying room that has a controlled temperature while being dried by dehumidifiers and airmovers.
