Rugs

Oriental/Fine Rugs

Wool and Silk Rugs need a special kind of cleaning process that does not damage the fibers and make them stiff and crunchy, instead they should feel soft to the touch. Don´t trust your expensive rugs to your average carpet cleaning company, have them cared for by the pros at Dry Pros.

Cleaning facility consists of:

  • Climate controlled environment
  • Hanging rack systems
  • Large area for washing rugs

In cleaning we use an acronym: TACT.  It stands for Time, Agitation, Chemical, and Temperature.  All these elements must be present when cleaning, but they must be modified to clean an oriental rug correctly.

Time. Orientals are not bothered by water.  However, it is important the water solution be modified to clean an oriental rug correctly and dry in a timely fashion.


Agitation.  Agitation is the physical action involved in loosening the soils for removal.  Harsh scrubbing can damage the fibers.  Older or damaged fine rugs require gentle agitation.  In some cases all or part of the rug has to be gently scrubbed or even stroked by hand.  This kind of attention to detail assures the best results.

Chemical.  The cleaning products we use on fine rugs are especially formulated to clean the natural fibers we find in oriental rugs.  The products must ensure a PH balance that will loosen the soils, and leave the fibers soft without harming the dyes.  The cleaning agents must rinse freely to leave the fibers clean and a natural hand feel to touch.

Temperature.  For some commercial carpets, we sometimes need as much heat as we can get.  Fine rugs are different.  If the cleaning solution is too hot, fibers can be damaged and left feeling like straw.  With excess heat, dyes can also be removed.  If the solution is too cold, the soils may not completely be removed by the cleaning agents.  control over the temperature is very important.
