Carpet Cleaning Companies Cleaning Your Oriental Rug? That’s A No-No!

Improper Cleaning Damages Oriental Rugs….

Improper cleaning is a leading cause of damage to Oriental rugs. We advise our clients to wait until they are assured that they have located the right cleaning and restoration service before deciding to clean an Oriental rug, tapestry or textile.

It is important to investigate claims, know the difference and obtain reliable references or industry certifications. The danger presented by most commercial companies is due to the harshness of over-the-counter cleaning formulations, hot water, mechanical brushing, and washing machines and – in the case of in-home or steam cleaning – inadequate cleaning and incomplete rinsing.

The shortcuts of wall-to-wall carpet steam cleaning companies and traditional commercial cleaning machines are a radical departure from the principles and practices of rug and textile conservation. It is important to know the experience, methods, and reputation of the cleaning service you choose (or, in the case of an Oriental rug dealer, of the rug cleaning service that they have chosen to contract with).

The aim of conservation cleaning at Oriental Rug Salon is to preserve the intrinsic qualities of an Oriental rug or textile through an individualized treatment and detailed hand cleaning. Other methods used by carpet cleaning companies are more superficial – addressing only the appearance of soiling, not the reality of soiling. In the cleaning trade, rug cleaning is often referred to as “appearance management”. However, Oriental Rug Salon’s individualized approach results in – not only a thoroughly clean rug – but a healthier rug that will maintain its beauty far into the future.

Oriental Rug Salon is a Certified Partner with the prestigious Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and the international Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI).   In addition, we are A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List and all of our Oriental rug specialists are certified by the world’s most respected certification body for textile professionals.
