Oriental Rug Cleaning Connecticut

In the event that you need to clean an accidental spill on your rug, follow these helpful hints:

• Be sure to soak up spilled liquids as quickly as possible to shop a spill from spreading.
• Make to soak up spills before they dry. Letting a spill dry lets it settle into the fibers and will make stain removal much more difficult.
• Absorb as much of the spill as possible with a damp cloth (water only; do not use any detergents or cleansers); blot gently and repeat until you’ve removed as much of the stain as possible.

TIPS: There are also things you should not do when cleaning your oriental rug:

• Do not beat your oriental carpet as you may do with manufactured rugs when trying to expel dirt, debris or dust – this may cause structural damage to the back of the rug or to the woven threads of the carpet.
• When vacuuming your oriental rug, check to make sure you are using the right settings according to the manufacturer and do NOT vacuum the fringed edges. This may also destroy your carpeting.

Since most oriental rugs are costly – ranging in the hundreds to the thousands – you may want to consult a professional rug cleaning service when you have a serious stain or spill. Whether you live in NYC or the surrounding boroughs, an oriental rug specialist will be able to determine the best method of cleaning your cherished oriental rug without causing further damage.
