• It improves the appearance of your rug. Over time, Oriental rugs can become stained, dirty, and faded, making them look unkempt and less valuable. Regular cleaning can help to restore the original beauty of your rug.
• It protects your rug from damage. Oriental rugs are made from delicate materials that can be damaged by dirt, grime, and stains. Regular cleaning can help to prevent damage to your rug and extend its lifespan.
• It prevents the spread of bacteria and allergens. Oriental rugs can harbor bacteria and allergens, which can cause health problems such as allergies, asthma, and respiratory infections. Regular cleaning can help to remove these harmful pollutants and keep your home or business healthy.

Protecting Your Wool Rugs from Damage

Wool rugs can vary in value from $100 to over $100,000 and can be very different in terms of age, materials used, dying process, and weave of the fabric. So, we can’t provide a price for cleaning your rug without first asking some questions about the rug and  seeing it in person. Feel free to give us a call to arrange for a free quote for your next rug cleaning in Evanston.

Wool rugs are highly susceptible to bleeding, which means that the colors can run together. One color in your rug may not bleed, while another color will. So, before cleaning your rug, we test each color with each chemical for colorfastness. Our technicians are highly trained and experienced. They know exactly what solution to use to maintain the colors of your valuable wool rug. 

Vacuuming

First, we vacuum the rug three (3) times, including both the face and the backing fibers.

Color Testing

We carefully test for colorfastness on all colors with properly diluted solutions.

Pre-Spray

Using a trigger sprayer on a mist setting, we mist the rug with Matrix All Fiber Rinse diluted at 4-6 oz per gallon of water.

Shampooing

Using a shampoo machine, we clean the rug with Chemspec Oriental Rug Shampoo diluted at 8 oz per gallon of water.

Grooming

Using a Grandi-Groom, we rake the pile downward with the nap.

Cleaning the Fringe

To clean any white fringe, we apply Chemspec Rx for Fringe diluted at 1/3 of a cup to 1 gallon of water. To this, we add 1 oz of a liquid detergent, such as Matrix Confidence Premium Extraction Detergent. We brush the fringe in an outward motion and on fringes only. Allowing the solution to dwell 3-5 minutes. Then, we rinse with a hand tool. We use minimal moisture to avoid browning.

Speed Drying

Finally, we speed dry your rug with air movers to avoid browning, leaving your rug clean and dry!
