ORIENTAL RUG CLEANING REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL! ALWAYS TRUST THE CARE OF ORIENTAL RUGS TO AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL LIKE KING'S CARPET SERVICE!
We use only the gentlest and most effective cleaning methods to care for your treasured Oriental and specialty rugs. We specialize in treating these items as well as upholstered items with special care to prevent dye bleeding and shrinkage.
Caring For Oriental & Other Specialty Rugs: Gritty dry soil tracked indoors can scratch and cut rug fibers. The longer soil remains in your rugs, the more damage it causes. Extend the lifespan of your rugs by vacuuming high traffic areas daily to remove gritty soil, and be sure to thoroughly vacuum all of your rugs at least once a week. Oriental rugs are often more than floor coverings. They can be one-of-a-kind works of art. As such, always take your Oriental rugs to Oriental rug cleaning specialists. They will have the expertise and the right tools to inspect and test the condition of yarn, dyes, and weaves in your rug. These tools help minimize shrinkage, rippling or dye bleeding. If you think your Oriental rug may be valuable, it may require additional special care such as conservation or restoration. A qualified Oriental rug cleaning specialist can advise you as to which methods will work best for your rug. Flatweave rugs (such as killims and dhurries) also benefit from regular professional cleaning, but may present difficulties even for some professionals. Many are handmade, and cleaning can reveal flaws in yarns and weaving techniques, even showing chalk pattern markings made by the weaver. These chalk pattern markings are seldom color fast and may bleed during cleaning. Flatweaves may shrink or ripple and can dyebleed no matter what cleaning methods are used if the manufacturer has used inferior dyes or dyeing processes. Experienced professional cleaners know which precautions to take to minimize or eliminate rippling or bleeding.
When To Schedule Professional Cleanings: Oily, greasy soils can usually be completely removed by a professional, but the longer oils remain in the fibers, the harder they are to remove. Over time, oils may undergo a chemical change causing permanent yellowing. Regularly scheduled cleanings performed by a professional cleaner will help remove these oils, helping to preserve the value and maintain the beauty of your rugs. Ask a professional cleaner to provide guidance about frequency and techniques. How To Treat Water Damaged Rugs: In case of water damage, Oriental and specialty rugs should be removed from the wet area to a well-ventilated area to lay flat. If possible, vacuum - NEVER A REGULAR VACUUM CLEANER - if the rug must be moved while it is still wet, roll it in kraft paper or paper bags to minimize dye transfer or migration. Always contact an Oriental rug specialist for cleaning or repair of the rug. Be aware that nearly all soft floor coverings will shrink as a result of cleaning. A skilled professional rug cleaner knows how to minimize shrinkage. The degree of shrinkage is the result of the construction of the rug, the density of the face fabrics, and the fibers used in the backage.
