How is it done?
We pick up your Oriental rug, clean it in our
shop and deliver it back to your home.
Step 1: Dusting
The first step of our system is to “dust” the
rug. Thorough vacuuming—first the
back and then the face of the rug removes dust, sand and loose soil trapped
deep inside. This is important
because gritty sand grinds the expensive wool yarns down into those
worthless fibers that fill up your vacuum bag.
Step 2: Wash and Rinse
In many parts of the world where fine rugs are
made they are cleaned by placing them in a swiftly flowing river where they
are submerged for hours on end--and then the carpet is slung over a tree
branch to dry. We don’t do it that way! Instead, we pre-spray your rug with a mild cleaning
agent made for wool cleaning and massage it deep into the fibers. Attention is given to the dingy white
fringes and spots on the rug. Then
we thoroughly rinse it out with a neutralizing rinse, which leaves your
carpet feeling beautifully soft.
Excess moisture is extracted away to prepare for drying. Stain Protection or Sanitizer is applied
at this stage. The rug is then
groomed and the fringes combed.
Step 3: Drying
Drying occurs quickly using airflow and
gravity. Some rugs may be hung to
dry. Others, because of their
make-up, would be allowed to dry flat on our platform.
Step 4: Final Inspection
After thoroughly drying, the rug is closely
inspected to make sure we have the desired results. Having your rug in our shop allows us to
repeat any steps necessary to meet your expectations.

Spot Cleaning
Certain spills such as
coffee, cola, juices, pet accidents, medicines, milk, and foods with
certain dyes must be spotted immediately for best results.
1.
Do not rub
the spot. Don’t panic.
2.
Gently
remove any solid materials from the area with a spoon.
3.
Blot the
area with a clean white terrycloth towel.
4.
Use a
neutral pH spotting solution (available from Ideal Carpet & Rug
Cleaning) to loosen the rest of the spot.
Use only a minimum of this solution, just enough to moisten the
spot. Avoid soaking unaffected areas
of the rug. Gently massage the
soiled yarns with your fingertips.
5.
Blot again
to pick up the solution, turning the towel frequently to a clean portion.
6.
Repeat
steps 4 and 5 until the rug appears to be clean.
7.
Neutralize
the spot with a vinegar solution.
Mix 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water. Again, use only a minimum of this
solution. Blot repeatedly. Remember not to rub.
8.
Before the rug dries be sure to comb the pile to blend with the
rest of the rug. When the rug is
dry, the nap should be lying in its natural direction.
9.
If the spill has dried before you notice it, get
the advice of an experienced rug cleaner.

Professional
Cleaning
is recommended every two to five years, depending on the traffic the
rug receives. Cleaning your Oriental
Rugs properly enhances their look and value. Not having one cleaned is like not going
to the dentist. Dirt has a sandpaper
effect on the fibers.
Vacuum,
vacuum, vacuum! This is
the best thing you, as an owner, can do for your rug. First determine the direction of the nap
by running your hand over the surface.
Never catch the fringes in the vacuum or the rug can be ruined. Set your beater bar so that the brush
just touches the top of the pile and moves easily across the rug. Periodically vacuum the back of the rug.
Ensure
even wear. Your rug
should be rotated once a year, before you notice the high traffic areas
starting to look dirty. As well,
direct sunlight has an effect on the dyes over time.
Choose a
proper underpad—a good quality one that will stabilize and
protect your rug’s shape, enhancing the value and make your rug safer to
walk on.
Potted
Plants—never
put a houseplant on the rug. No
matter how careful you are, moisture can penetrate onto the rug, creating
permanent stains or mildew damage.
Fringes—If
the fringe becomes uneven, the edges can be trimmed in some cases.
