Oriental Rug Cleaning in Studio City, CA

Why Oriental Rugs Need More Than Just a Regular Cleaning

Unlike the carpet in a hallway or the machine made rug from a big box store, most Oriental rugs are made from natural materials such as wool, cotton and silk. Many of these rugs are also dyed using colors that may change when exposed to water or the wrong cleaning product. The knots, pile height and foundation all play a role in the overall appearance of an Oriental rug. An improper cleaning can affect all these elements.

However, there is also another key part to this equation. Fine particles get trapped between the fibers and are ground against the wool with each footstep. This will wear down the rug from the inside before you notice it on the outside. Oriental rug cleaning in Studio City is not just about making an Oriental rug look great. It is also about removing elements that cause damage to the rug so that it can be enjoyed for future generations and not just a few years.

Follow Your Rug From Our Front Door to Yours

Every rug is unique so our oriental rug cleaning in Studio City techniques will vary from one rug to another. Below is an example of a typical visit to Scripts Rug Cleaning.

1. Inspect the rug. We will examine the colors, fibers, fringe, edges and any wear or stain. We will also test colorfastness to make sure that nothing bleeds during the oriental rug cleaning in Studio City process.
2. Remove surface dirt. Before the oriental rug cleaning in Studio City process begins, we remove the dry dirt that is trapped within the fibers of the rug. This step greatly affects the final results.
3. Use proper oriental rug cleaning in Studio City techniques. Wool, silk and blends each require different cleaning solutions. We use rug safe solutions and thoroughly rinse the rug to make sure there is no residue remaining.
4. Treat stains and odors. Any spills, pets or stubborn stains will be treated to address the issue while not stressing other areas of the rug.
5. Proper drying techniques. We dry rugs slowly to avoid issues with odor, browning and mildew. We provide the time and airflow that a rug needs instead of rushing it out the door.
6. Final grooming and inspection. We groom the pile and fringe as well as inspect the entire rug to make sure it returns looking like itself, but cleaner and brighter.

Real Life on Your Rug

Rugs are found in the middle of everything. Red wine spills during dinner parties. A puppy is still learning the rules. Sunlight pours through the window every afternoon. Muddy shoes come in after a rainy day and the kids treat the rug like a playground. None of this means your rug is ruined. It means your rug is being used and that is what rugs are for.

We treat spills of wine, coffee, food, pet accidents and dirt tracked in with oriental rug cleaning in Studio City methods specific to the fiber in your rug. We are also honest with you. Some marks can be completely lifted while others may fade. A few marks, like sun fading over time or migration of dye from older rugs cannot be completely removed. We will always inform you of what to expect before we begin so that there are no surprises when your rug comes home.

Signs That Your Rug Might Need Attention

Rugs do not usually make a big noise but do give off signs. If you notice one or more of the following, your rug may need attention.

• The colors appear dull or faded although you remember them appearing vibrant
• A pat on your rug produces a small cloud of dust
• There is a stale or musty smell especially after a pet accident or a humid day
• The pile feels rough, matted or gritty underfoot
• Allergies seem to increase when time is spent in the room
• It has been two to three years since the last professional cleaning

As a general rule most Oriental rugs should be professionally cleaned every one to three years. Rugs in homes with pets, children or high foot traffic may require more frequent professional oriental rug cleaning in Studio City while a rug in a quiet room can go longer.
