Why Special Care for Oriental Rugs is so Important
Oriental rugs are quite special in terms of construction. Unlike modern carpets that are made using synthetic materials and strong adhesives, Oriental rugs are hand knotted using cotton, silk or wool. The colorful patterns and designs on Oriental rugs are created using natural dyes. These natural dyes add to the beauty and long lasting quality of Oriental rugs but they also make Oriental rugs vulnerable to damage if not handled properly.
Conventional carpet cleaning tools, steam cleaning using high heat and very alkaline cleaning solutions can cause color bleeding and fading of the natural dyes in Oriental rugs. Very high friction rotary cleaning can also cause damage to the hand knotted construction of Oriental rugs by unraveling hand tied knots and causing permanent distortion of the pile. For these reasons, every Oriental rug that we care for is handled with the greatest care and only the most effective and safe oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys are used.
Pre-Cleaning Inspection Procedures
Before any oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys begins, there is a detailed microscopic inspection of the Oriental rug by our most experienced specialists. When each Oriental rug arrives at our facility in Van Nuys, California it is put under high intensity color correcting lights on a special inspection table.
Then each inch of the Oriental rug is inspected to determine the type of dyes used, material construction and origin of the rug. Any pre-existing damage such as pet stains, structural fraying, moth or sun damage is also noted. One of the most important steps during the inspection phase is the dye testing. This is done by testing various areas of the Oriental rug to determine the reaction of natural dyes to moisture and the oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys solutions used.
If there are any signs of unstable dye reactions, a special oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys method can be created that will use special dye stabilizing agents. This detailed inspection process guarantees that the reds, blues and other colors of your Oriental rug will be clean and bright throughout the oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys process.
Traditional Immersion Cleaning
Once the inspection phase is complete and oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys method is determined the actual cleaning process begins. A modernized version of the traditional immersion cleaning process is used.
First the Oriental rug is dusted dry. Oriental rugs have a high density which can hold very large amounts of abrasive dirt deep within the rug before the rug begins to look dirty. Special harmonic vibration cleaning tools are used to gently remove this dry dirt from the Oriental rug without disturbing the delicate fibers.
Once the dust is removed the Oriental rug is placed on our special custom cleaning floor. The Oriental rug is then gently placed into a pool of cool running water. Only very mild pH balanced cleaning solutions specifically designed for wool and silk are used. The cleaning solutions are then massaged into the Oriental rug using specialized soft oriental rug cleaning in Van Nuys brushes. This causes the cleaning solutions to penetrate into the pile and remove dirt, grease and odors.
The continuous flow of fresh water ensures that all soils and cleaning solutions are completely removed from inside the Oriental rug leaving only clean fibers.
Odor and Stain Removal for Oriental Rugs
Many Oriental rugs have stains and odors. Especially common are pet stains. Covering up these stains and odors with a deodorizing spray is only temporary. Our Oriental Rug Cleaning service is equipped to deal with the worst of these biological contaminants. We use enzyme based cleaning products that actually break up the molecules of pet urine, vomit and other biological stains. These cleaning products also neutralize the bacteria that create the odor at the source. Therefore the odor is completely removed and not just covered up.
In addition to pet stains we are also highly skilled at removing food, coffee, wine, ink or other specific stains. Because we understand the complexities of natural fibers and dyes we can spot clean these stains using very specific solutions that will remove the stain without degrading the colors or the hand knotted construction of the Oriental rug.
Drying and Finishing
Drying Oriental rugs is just as important as cleaning them. If Oriental rugs are left too wet there is a potential for mildew, mold or dry rot to develop which will damage the foundation of the Oriental rug forever. If Oriental rugs are dried too quickly using very high heat drying there is a potential for severe shrinkage or brittleness of the rug.
Our drying room in Van Nuys, California is climate controlled and state of the art. Once a Oriental rug has been thoroughly rinsed and the excess moisture has been gently removed it is then hung or laid flat on our special drying racks. A combination of high volume air circulation and dehumidifying equipment is used to dry the Oriental rug quickly and evenly without causing any shrinkage or brittleness.
Once completely dry the Oriental rug is carefully inspected. The pile is then groomed to lay flat and natural in its original direction. The lustrousness and luxurious feel of the Oriental rug is then restored. The fringes are then carefully hand cleaned to ensure they are bright, clean and not tangled. Only after these final steps are complete do we roll and wrap the Oriental rug and return it to its owner.
