Check Out These Amazing Results from a Demonstration in Our Facility!

Here is an actual test we performed in our rug facility last week. We had a typical 8X10 wool rug in for cleaning. The pile of dirt on the left is from a surface vacuum, the middle is where we used a portable beater style machine over the same rug and the far right is all the additional sand we got out of the rug with our Automatic Rug Dusting machine! This was not staged but an actual demonstration!

Getting Great Value for Area Rug Cleaning in New Smyrna Beach

Getting Great Value for Area Rug Cleaning in New Smyrna Beach

Many area rug and Oriental rug owners opt for professional area rug cleaning in New Smyrna Beach because they want to know that their rugs are in the best hands possible.

You may already know that there are many benefits to keeping up with the maintenance of your area rugs, but you might be at a loss as to how you can protect it on your own too. Here are a few tips to make sure your rugs stay as clean and fresh as possible.

  • Only buy from a reputable supplier
    With Oriental rugs, you could buy what looks like a masterpiece, and it may be worth nothing. Adversely, that scuffed, tatty old rug in the corner may be worth a pretty penny once it has been repaired. Find a trusted dealer who will point you in the right direction.
  • Opt for professional cleaning when necessary
    On a regular basis, make sure you send in your area rug for a professionalOriental rug cleaning. A good cleaning service will have the right equipment and area rug cleaning materials to gently clean your rug without damaging the fibers in any way.
  • Get repairs done when necessary
    Broken tassels and missing bits of fibers can turn your beautiful Oriental rug into a tired old doormat. Repair is something that must be done by a professional, to avoid doing any further damage.
  • Keep out of reach of pets
    If at all possible, make sure that pets like cats and dogs aren’t treading on your Oriental rugs. Pets drop hair and other bits and pieces that they bring in from outside, and can even urinate on them. Prevention is the best kind of care.

Heirloom Rug Cleaning offers expert and affordable area rug and Oriental rug cleaning in New Smyrna Beach. Find out more about our affordable services today by contacting us here.

Rug Cleaning in Daytona Beach: First-Aid Tips for Spills and Stains

Posted by on Mar 12, 2014 in Blog | Comments Off on Rug Cleaning in Daytona Beach: First-Aid Tips for Spills and Stains

Area rugs look really fancy, especially when they’re squeaky-clean. However, there would be times of the year when your rugs are likely to end up dirty and stained – sometimes to the point of being too troublesome to wash. Even professionals offering services for rug cleaning in Daytona Beach and nearby communities have to consider a lot of factors to do their job correctly. Then again, don’t lose hope just yet; some stains can be cleaned on the spot using common household solutions fully accessible to anyone. An article from RugsUSA.com enumerates some.

Blot It Up

If it’s impossible to catch a spill before it seeps into the fibers of the rug, one can just grab a clean towel and blot all the liquid up. However, do not rub the towel as it will push the stain deeper into the fibers. Wash the stain with soapy water (mix a few drops of clear dishwashing soap with several cups of water). Spray the solution on the stain, and then rinse with warm, clean water.
No Success? Other Solutions to Try
If the aforementioned methods still don’t work, household liquids like hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar or ammonia are also effective. Hydrogen peroxide is good for stains caused by berries, candy, chocolate, coffee, and red wine; white vinegar is great for alkaline liquid spills like beer; and ammonia is helpful for rug blemishes caused by ketchup, mixed drinks, and cough syrup.
On the other hand, dust, hair, and general dirt are easier to clean. One could use vacuum cleaners to completely take out deep-seated dirt in the rug’s fibers. Like carpets, regular vacuuming is recommended for rugs to keep them spotless as well as to prevent premature wear and tear. If the rug is reversible, vacuum both sides for a thorough clean.
Vacuum cleaners are effective, but they can still leave a lot more behind; most notably, pet hairs. What one can do is scrub off the hair using a brush with stiff bristles, brushing to the direction of the rug’s nap. For smaller rugs, shaking the dirt off is simple and effective, too.
Sometimes, there would be stains and other grime that just won’t budge. This is where companies offering professional rug cleaning in New Smyrna Beach and nearby communities come in. With years of training and experience, they can clean off just about anything when it seems that all hope is lost. Their specialized methods are tried and tested by the industry. For this, there’s just one thing left to be done: experience their services for yourself.

Wool Wonders and Woes Handled by an Oriental Rug Cleaner in Daytona

Wool Wonders and Woes Handled by an Oriental Rug Cleaner in Daytona

In her About.com piece, Cheryl Simmons describes wool, one of the most common materials used for oriental rugs:

 

Wool Durable

 

“Wool is the most popular natural fiber used in carpeting. Natural fibers have many key differences from synthetic fibers, and so must be chosen with care. Generally speaking, wool carpet is more high maintenance than synthetics, as it is less stain resistant and requires more careful cleaning. 
Despite its drawbacks, wool has a good number of supporters. Wool carpet is often viewed as a status symbol, due to its high cost relative to most synthetic carpets. The cost, however, is often viewed as an investment, as wool carpets can be quite durable and can last for a number of years. “
Oriental rugs made of wool are recommended investments because of the resilience of their fibers. Wool rugs are able to last for years without their beauty fading. However, as Simmons points out, proper maintenance is imperative for wool’s appearance to survive time’s passing. Aside from regular household cleaning, homeowners should get in touch with an oriental rug cleaner in Daytona to perform professional maintenance.
Colorful dyes used on wool make lovely patterns in hand-knotted oriental rugs. These carpeting commodities or heirlooms are usually imports from Middle or Far Eastern cultures. The fabric is woven artfully into oriental designs distinctive to local areas or regions.
The exotic and unique designs of oriental rugs is what makes them such an appealing home décor, especially as statement pieces in indoor living spaces. Aside from beauty, wool piles and wefts offer strength, flame resistance, and humidifying properties to the rug.
As precious commodities go, woolen rugs are not without drawbacks. The characteristic wool pile, wefts, and fringes may be prone to accumulating dry soils. Stains of any variety may be absorbed well and fast. These are common problems with other oriental rug makes, too. Despite these maintenance pitfalls, woolen rugs are still highly sought for their decorative appeal and durability. These area rugs would always be mainstays in traditional and contemporary home designs.
One of the best ways to maintain wool’s wonders and correct its woes is through proper cleaning. When it comes to keeping their lovely appearance and treating accidental spills or stains, it would be best to call professionals from trusted companies like Heirloom Rug Cleaning.
Take note that an established rug cleaner in Port Orange and Daytona areas employs cleaning processes specific to the rug type they are handling. Professional help is always best in revitalizing precious oriental rugs back to their former glory.
