Mistakes Homeowners Make When Cleaning Oriental Rugs: Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock 

 

Your oriental area rugs are very valuable, you should know you paid for them. As such you want to get the most out of them and the way to do that is to make sure you properly care for your oriental rugs. Doing so requires specialized cleaning treatments. The problem these days everyone wants to DIY everything. This approach could very much be costly as many common cleaning mistakes can cause irreversible damage such as color dye bleeding and shrinkage. 

• Excessive Scrubbing – Remember growing up the cliche was that it just needs a little elbow grease. Well scrubbing aggressively can fray delicate fibers and damage the tassels. When trying to spot clean you'll want to blot stains gently with a terry cloth or some paper towels. In the event you are unable to remove the spot call a professional carpet cleaning company like TLC Carpet Care in Castle Rock. 
• Using Soaps – Many store bought cleaners contain high levels of soap that can settle in and just attract more dirt and soiling. Most oriental rugs require a neutral based cleaning solution and you unlikely unable to find these solutions in store. 
• Excess Moisture – Using excessive water can protentilaly cause mold growth that can spread and litterly ruin your rug. Many rug have very thick yarns that once they retain water, without the proper extraction they will not dry properly and that's how the mold develops.  
• Delaying Cleaning– Most people think that, well if it doest look dirty it doesn't need to be cleaned. The problem is that dirt and soils can settle deep in the backing of the rug where you can't see and by the time it is noticeable the damage is already done. These soils can be abrasive and can slowly tear at your fibers. As far as the soiling in time it can cause oxidation and that's how rugs can get stained. 
• Using the Wrong Carpet Cleaning Company. Believe it or not carpet cleaning is not regulated. – This means anyone can buy a machine and purchase chemicals and call themselves a professional carpet cleaner, when in fact they have no knowledge or experience in cleaning oriental rugs. When hiring a professional carpet cleaning company don't be afraid to ask questions and if something feels off go on to the next carpet cleaning company.
