The Differences Between Carpet Cleaning and Rug Cleaning
by: Sandra C. Earl
It is time that you paid a little more attention to your rugs. Yes, those textile floor coverings that you bought some time ago to add color to your interiors, a cushion for youngsters and others who might take a spill, or to keep your toes from feeling the cold in the morning when you get out of bed. While some small, inexpensive rugs might respond well to machine washing, or represent so minimal of an investment that you do not mind replacing them rather than caring for them, others require more specialized care. Persian rugs, silk rugs, oriental rugs, novelty and shag rugs, antique rugs, natural fiber, sisal and handmade rugs were not made for standard do it yourself rug cleaning. These and other types of rugs require expert care at the hand of only reputable rug cleaning services provider.
Useful Information
You might imagine that rug cleaning and carpet cleaning processes are similar. While this might make life easier for carpet and rug owners, it is not actually true. Most carpets respond well to water extraction techniques which utilize jets of extremely hot water to flush out embedded dirt and then simultaneously extract the water and debris to a holding tank.
This process, which is far from delicate, is the only way to effectively remove contaminants from carpets covering large areas. Carpet makers know this, and in order to ensure that their product will be cleanable, they keep this industry standard cleaning processes in mind when creating their goods.
Rugs makers have no such considerations in mind when they create their product. Some rugs are made to
take a beating and then be replaced (low priced area rugs, perhaps). Functional rugs, such as bathroom mats that are placed to protect us from slipping on a wet floor, are manufactured in such a way that you can easily launder them in your home washing machine. For every 'easy care' rug that you can think of, there are at least ten types of rugs that require special care and handling.
Be Gentle
Persian rugs, handmade rugs, antique rugs and rugs made of natural fibers require special attention. Mishandling can lead to discoloration, uneven wearing, and worse. While the dyes used by rug makers should be color fast and able to stand the test of time, using the wrong product - or even too much of the right product - will take its toll. Do not risk damaging your valuable rugs, have them professionally cleaned at least once every two years - even more if they are placed in high traffic areas.
A Step in the Right Direction
If you want your rugs to service you well and for a long time, it is imperative that you remove dirt and dust often. Smaller rugs can be shaken (outdoors, of course) to dislodge debris. Do not beat your rugs - this can cause more damage than good. Instead, try sweeping the rug before you vacuum. Sweeping can help extricate some of the dirt that has become embedded in the rugs so you can vacuum them. Finally, you should consider having your rug cleaned professionally as recommended by your rug manufacture.
