Why Are Oriental Rugs Cleaned Differently Than Carpets? Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock 

• Hot water extraction can shrink carpets and rugs, cause ripples or buckling, and irreversibly distortion with jet streaks.
• Carpet cleaning chemicals can be hard on natural fibers and can often have a high alkaline level that is to high for natural fibers making them prone to browning.
• Hot steam and traffic cleaning chemicals can yellow, brown and cause color bleeding.
• Hot water or steam can loosen the fibers from a hand woven rug.
• Regular vacuuming, even with powerful commercial grade vacuums cannot completely remove dry soil from thick carpets such as shag carpeting or thick nylon. 
• Dry soil can act like sandpaper grinding away the yarn by shredding it, if not thoroughly removed before cleaning and can damage the rug.
• Many Oriental and Wool Rugs require solvent based cleaning and cold water to prevent dye bleeding or migration.
• Oriental and Specialty Rugs must be thoroughly rinsed with an acidity to remove all cleaning solutions. This can only be accomplished with an acid rinse.
• Store bought cleaning chemicals can damage the the fibers and be expensive to re-clean or repair to have done correctly.
• Bonnet style rotary scrubbers may irreversibly damage the yarns fibers and/or distort the pile as a result of high friction.
