rug we work on very seriously. First, we thoroughly inspect the amount of damage caused to the rug – rugs made from natural fibers like cotton, camel hair or silk sustain more damage than those made from synthetic materials like polyester, and Oriental rugs almost always fall into the former category. Not to worry, however, as we can restore even the most damaged specialty rug with ease.
In cases where there is significant soaking, all of the water is extracted using heavy-duty vacuuming machines that are not harsh on the surface of the rug. In cases where there is padding present, we will remove it to dry and clean the underlay or replace it.
The next step is to apply an anti-microbial agent to get rid of any moisture that could be causing mold, spores and bacteria to grow and to ensure that the rug is fresh and clean by the time we return it to the owner – needless to say, the chemicals we use here are environmentally-friendly and won't cause any damage to your rug or the padding.
Later, the rug is dried with the help of high-speed fans as well as dehumidifiers that guarantee the rug's cleanliness by the time we return it to your doorstep.
Owners of expensive rugs have little to look forward to during rainy weather – rain drags mud through the house, which quickly makes any rug dirty and sometimes leads to flooding, which can cause water damage. Treating a case of rug water damage involves handling the immediate effects, of course, but also equipping the rug in a way that allows it to deal with future incidents.
Rain water, and any water that stays inside a rug's fabric for a long time, causes damage to its color, durability, and shape. It also causes the flooring underneath the rug lose its polish, which is why we like to think beyond addressing the rug.
Our experts will always suggest getting a rug pad if your home suffers from persistent moisture or if there is a high likelihood of unattended spills. Some of the reasons have to do with water damage, while others have a generally beneficial nature – there are a lot of ways in which an extra piece of padding installed under your expensive rugs will save not only the fabric but also the floors from extensive water damage.
However, even having the best rug pad will only do so much to protect a fine rug from water-related incidents. The best thing you can do for your rug in such a scenario is give us a call immediately and have us come over for damage control without delay. Our experts will quickly assess the situation and know exactly which steps to take to restore your rug, whether we're talking…
