Anyone interested in home decor knows the appeal and beauty Oriental rugs possess. However, keeping them clean and in good shape may seem like a chore to some. This is unfortunate as Area Rug Cleaning in Westchester County NY is very easy to do and will keep any and all Oriental rugs looking good as new. Here are some cleaning tips to help make things as easy as possible.
• Make sure to vacuum the rug on a regular basis. Once a month, flip the rug upside down and vacuum with the rotating brush. This works to push ground-in dirt towards the top of the rug. Flip the rug over again and vacuum normally to get rid of the loosened dirt. If the rug is made from wool, use suction only. If the rug is made from synthetic material, the rotating brush is fine to use. Do not vacuum any fringe or tassels that may be present on the rug as they are very delicate and can easily be damaged by the vacuum. Fluff them by hand to rejuvenate their look.
• Rotate the rug regularly to avoid unsightly wear patterns from foot traffic. Placing furniture upon the rug should also be avoided so that indentations and fading do not occur.
• When moving the rugs, make sure to roll them instead of folding them to avoid damaging creases. They are also much more space efficient when rolled versus folded.
• If pesky insects are a problem where one lives, use borax to eliminate their presence on the rug. Shampooing and even steam cleaning will not get rid of insects. By sprinkling borax upon the rug and letting it settle, the exoskeletons of the insects will be physically degraded, and the insects will perish. Any larvae or eggs will also be destroyed.
• It is recommended that a professional company is hired for steam Area Rug Cleaning in Westchester County NY. This is because the company will have the most effective machinery and cleaners available to make sure the job is done right the first time.
