What is Area Rug Cleaning?
Area rug cleaning is a professional service focused on cleaning and maintaining various types of area rugs. It involves careful handling and specific techniques to remove dirt, stains, allergens, and odors, ensuring the preservation of the rug’s beauty and longevity.
Techniques Used in Area Rug Cleaning
1. Hand Washing
Ideal for delicate, antique, or hand-woven rugs, hand washing uses gentle cleaning agents to protect the rug’s fibers and colors.
2. Immersion Cleaning
This technique involves submerging the rug in a cleaning solution, thoroughly cleaning deep-seated dirt and stains.
3. Dry Cleaning
For rugs sensitive to water or moisture, dry cleaning is an effective method that prevents shrinkage and color bleeding.
4. Steam Cleaning
Suitable for more robust rugs, steam cleaning uses hot water extraction to remove embedded dirt and allergens.
5. Fringe Cleaning and Repair
Special care is given to the fringe, requiring distinct cleaning and repair methods to maintain its condition.
