How do I care for my wool/Silk Oriental rug?

By Meir Martin, The Owner and the inventor of “PetPeePee System”

The most frequent questions Customer asked me “How to vacuum the wool/silk Antique rug?”

My answer is: vacuum without the brushes, use only the suction.

Fact.

 Vacuuming your Persian/rug will protect the longevity of your “art on the floor”.

 Wool/Silk rugs act as an air filter, the carpet will generate Electric static, that will attract the dust and air born bacteria.

By vacuuming the top of the rug, once a week, (DIRACTION WITH THE NAP) this act will raise all the unwanted dirt that is deep within the carpet.

 The oldest recipe for cleaning Oriental rug.

One’s a Year flips the rug on his face, for a week or two, Recommended after all the holidays. By walking on the back side of the rug, the dust/send will fall on the floor.

Move the rug collect the dirt and vacuum the rug.

You will be amazed how much grunge and dust fall from the rug.

 The customer has also asked

Shall I let my Carpet Cleaner, go over the Oriental rug, to refresh the color?

My answer is a definite NO.

And the cause is, the cleaning solution the Carpet cleaner use, design for synthetic carpet, not organic fiber, by utilizing the steam or dry cleaning solution, the chemical that will live in the rug will attract the dirt faster and the carpeting will look dull.

 Rugs on the wall must also be dusted.

The Rug on the wall require vacuuming, even is not walked on, it still picks up dust.

Use the vacuum furniture, hand tool, and genteelly vacuum with the guidance of the periphery.

Your grandma’s best cleaning recipes. Vinegar!

Mix 50% Vinegar and 50% water.

1.    Carpeting on the wall: spray on the rug lightly and Vacuum.

2.    Oriental rug that is on the Floor, do the same (be careful the floor may be slippery).

How the vinegar clean?

This information copy from: http://www.versatilevinegar.org/pdf/Cleaning%20with%20Vinegar.pdf

“Vinegar is well acknowledged as a cleaning agent. It is especially effective in removing inorganic soils and mineral deposits such as hard water films. It is also effective against a broad range of bacteria, destroying or reducing these organisms to acceptable levels”.

Its Work and I recommended.

Final.

Organic Fiber such as Wool, Cotton, Silk, Jute and more, cleaned in the carpet cleaning industry, Most of the time) as a synthetic fiber.

Our Dry cleaner use dry cleaning solution, and the Carpet cleaner, uses steam with Enzyme (detergent) on wool/silk Oriental rug.

All of this will lead to harm to the detail that we treasure.

We spend so Much time and money to obtain the right, Oriental rug or Silk fiber, to adorn our house.

And when the time arrived to clean the Oriental carpet, we expect to keep open a penny by choosing a wrong Carpet cleaner.     

My recommendation, before sending your Oriental rug to be clean by a “Professional carpet cleaner” read my blog

It will Light the dark recess of the cleaning process/Machine, and the determination of all the chemicals, that's being utilized to clean your Oriental rug, by Carpet Cleaners.
