Caring for Rugs That Carry History
Many of the rugs we encounter have a connection to the family that owns them for decades. These rugs were either given to the family as a gift from their parents or grandparents, purchased on an international trip, or even one that has a significant story to tell to the family that owns it. Most of these rugs are also hand knotted by skilled artisans who can take up to months to complete each rug using natural dyes.
Oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach requires a different responsibility than the area rugs in the home. RugVibe Experts understand the intricate nature of these rugs and take the time to care for them properly based on the rug’s unique characteristics.
Oriental rugs require a different approach to cleaning due to the materials used to create them. Oriental rugs are mostly made with natural fibers such as wool, silk, or both of these materials. Additionally, the rug’s natural dyes may bleed if not exposed to the proper pH levels. Silk fibers are also susceptible to damage from heat and chemicals. Lastly, the rug’s antique foundation and fringe may be more fragile than it seems which can easily be damaged by improper techniques during oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach process.
Using the methods used on synthetic rugs can result in irreversible damage to the delicate fibers of an oriental rug. RugVibe Experts takes care of each rug differently and will never use the same oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach method to clean an oriental rug as would be used on a mass-produced synthetic rug.
Our Process for Oriental Rug cleaning in Long Beach
Our step-by-step oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach process will be followed on all rugs that come into our shop.
An inspection of the rug will occur prior to treatment. During this initial inspection, we will review the fiber content, dye types, the rug’s structure, its age, and any damage to the rug.
For rugs with uncertain dyes, we will perform a dye test on a small portion of the rug to make sure the dyes will not bleed before we begin the rug’s treatment process.
Any dry soil on the rug will be removed through a delicate process that will be suitable for the rug’s fibers yet will remove the soil that has set into the rug over time. Oriental rugs usually contain more soil than they present on the rug’s surface.
A gentle hand oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach method will be used that is compatible with the rug’s natural fibers. The use of only low amounts of water and a pH-balanced solution will allow us to maintain the rug’s natural dyes and structure.
The fringe of the rug typically wears down the most so we will provide special consideration to this portion of the rug during the rug’s treatment cycle.
Finally, the rug will be dried slowly using methods that are suitable for the rug’s fibers such as wool and silk.
Common Concerns We Address
Some rugs may have experienced years of storage in places such as the garage or attic leading to any musty smells, layers of dry dust, or creases in the rug. Additionally, rugs may have dulled colors over time due to the wear and tear that it has endured from the family that owns it.
Furthermore, some rugs may have endured inappropriate treatments from previous rug enthusiasts who attempted to clean the rug themselves or oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach companies who may use methods for synthetic rugs only.
Lastly, rugs may have stained spots from the pets in the house which may require extra care due to the natural fibers of the rug.
Protecting Value Through Proper Care
An oriental rug is an investment for the family which, over time, requires proper care to maintain that value of the rug year after year.
The dirt that accumulates inside the rug’s fibers can begin to wear down the wool or silk of the rug over time. The more that the rug is permitted to remain dirty, the less that it will last for the family.
An oriental rug that is properly maintained and cleaned with oriental rug cleaning in Long Beach will last longer in the rug’s featured area of the home, whether it is a prominent feature of the living room or a commonly used hallway that the rug features in. Additionally, the rug will be beautiful and intact for the future and the families that continue to cherish it.
