Cleaning Oriental Rugs Properly and Keep Them Looking
Great by Jim Thornton
Wool carpets and
oriental rugs should be vacuumed
regularly two to three times a week
to prevent them from getting too
soiled. If you allow the dirt to get
ground into the rugs before you
vacuum you might find that you get
irreversible traffic patterns that
form. Even by vacuuming your wool
carpets on a regular basis they need
to be cleaned every year by a
professional carpet cleaner so that
they last a long time and maintain
their beauty. When you get the
carpet cleaning company to clean
your carpet you should make sure
they use a cleaning system that uses
very little water. The rugs will dry
much faster and you will prevent
your wool carpets from developing
mold or mildew because of the
quantity of water that they hold.
Wool has many
qualities that do not exist in
synthetic carpets and because of
this wool is very popular when
decorating your home. Wool resists
being crushed or flattened even when
they are in areas that get a lot of
traffic in your home. Many synthetic
carpets are made with olefin or
polyester. This type of carpet can
crush or flatten in no time when it
is used in high traffic situations.
Using carpet underpadding below your
carpet will stop uneven wear on your
wool carpets and it is important to
rotate your carpet every few months
so that it wears evenly on all
sides. This will help to prevent
unsightly traffic patterns as
quickly. Wool has an
amazing natural quality of stain
resistance. There are natural oils
in wool that repel spots and stains.
This helps the wool be stain
resistant but not stain proof. When
you get a spill occurs you have to
remove it as quickly as you can to
prevent any stains becoming
permanent. Use a soft paper towel or
white cloth to blot away as much of
the spill as possible making sure
not to rub it in, because this might
lead to permanent staining. After
you blot up the spill, use a carpet
cleaner that is designed to work
well with wool carpets. You can buy
wool carpet cleaners for all kinds
of spills online if you do not have
the right kind of carpet cleaner
with you at hand. Remember that many
spills contain different oils (e.g.
shoe polish, creams, cosmetics,
butter, salad dressings etc.). They
can be cleaned with dry cleaning
solvent whereas food items and other
non-oily spills can be cleaned with
a solution of mild liquid detergent
in water. Brush the nap in the
correct direction after cleaning and
dry your carpet using a cool hair
dryer. Wool rugs can
actually hold 30% of their weight in
moisture by absorbing moisture into
the rug from the air in the room.
This lowers the humidity in a room
and reduces the static electricity
in the carpet. Using wall-to-wall
wool carpets give you more comfort
underfoot because they are soft,
plush and warm. There is a very
comfortable feeling of luxury as it
squishes between your toes
underfoot. They make wood floors
warmer and stone floors more
comfortable and are great over
carpets to add that feeling of
luxury.
