Caring for Oriental Rugs & Wool Area Rugs

Your oriental rugs are beautiful works of art — and they are also valuable investments, so choose your Raleigh rug cleaner carefully. Because oriental rugs are constructed differently than wall-to-wall carpeting, they trap more dust, dirt and allergens.  Vacuuming regularly helps, they, but wool rugs  require special cleaning methods.  A Clean Solution recommends that oriental rugs be professionally cleaned every 12 to 24 months depending on where the rugs are placed in the house.  Entry way and hallway rugs require attention more often than rugs in rooms that are not used very often.

Oriental rug cleaning is a time-consuming process that requires a special facility. In 2006, A Clean Solution built a Raleigh, NC Rug Spa precisely for this purpose. While at our facility, your wool and oriental rugs will undergo 8 steps of thorough pampering: from our Raleigh rug cleaners:

• Examination – We test for dye stability and look for any damage or special conditions that may need to be brought to your attention before cleaning begins.
• Dry soil removal – The most important step in the process, it is also often overlooked by other rug cleaners. Wool rugs can hold 1 pound or more of dry soil per square foot!
• Preconditioning – Each rug is preconditioned with a wool-safe cleaning agent.
• Wash & rinse – A rich, foaming wash and cold water rinse flush soils and contaminants from the rug.
• Protectant application – Our Raleigh, NC rug cleaning specialists apply a high-quality protectant to guard rug fibers from soil and stains.
• Drying – The rug is groomed and dried in a controlled chamber with air movers, dehumidifiers and heat.
• Detailing – The fringes and face fibers are detailed and the rug is prepared to be returned.
• Allergen treatment – An optional hypoallergenic treatment is applied to control dust mites and animal dander.

Because these resources are not available to our Raleigh rug cleaning technicians while out on calls, proper specialty rug cleaning cannot be performed at your location.

The Clean Solution Advantage

All oriental rugs that come into our facility are individually hand-washed. Other Raleigh rug cleaning companies will combine your rug with up to 10 other rugs (that may have pet stains or mold contamination!) in a washing drum. This is not a safe process for washing specialty rugs that represent a significant investment for their owners.

Caution: Wool, silk and specialty rugs should not be steam cleaned! Steam cleaning can cause oriental rug fibers to degrade and colors to bleed.

Oriental Rug Cleaning FAQs

Can you clean rugs that have pet urine in them? Yes! Our rug cleaners in Raleigh, NC can add an additional process between step 2 and step 3, submerging the wool rug in a urine and odor neutralizer for up to 8 hours. When pet urine is deposited on the rug, the fibers absorb it all the way to the core of the fiber. A standard Raleigh rug cleaning will clean the outside of the fiber, but will not neutralize the odor in the core of the fiber. Many of our new clients call us with rugs that have been cleaned by other oriental rug cleaners, but still have a bad odor. Often, the rugs were surface cleaned with no attention paid to the odor problem, or they were cleaned at the customer’s location where proper decontamination cannot be performed.

Can oriental rugs be cleaned inside my home? To a degree. On-site oriental rug cleaning can be performed, but there are some risks and air quality issues. First, wet wool smells like wet sheep (very bad). Second, without the dry soil removal process, the dry soils in the rug fibers will turn into mud when water and cleaning solution comes in contact with them. This makes the soils very difficult and sometimes impossible to remove and can cause problems for future cleanings.  Drying is also a problem.  If wool rugs are not dried quickly, browning and dye bleeding can occur.  Lastly, the fringes can not be properly cleaned on site.
