Our Specialists begin your oriental rug cleaning in Louisville with a thorough inspection of your area rugs to find any damage or fiber issues. We will also identify the type of rug and fibers to ensure the right cleaning method is used on your rug. We’ll go over any questions you have, expected results, and honest pricing upfront. 

Oriental rugs usually hide a lot of dry soil. To remove this dry soil we use different techniques. The dust is removed from front and back with a machine we call Rug Duster. 

This vacuum has special attachments and a setting that allows us to remove most of the dry soil. The Rug Duster is a machine that will remove all the dust embedded in the backing of your rug.

Removing dry soil is an important step in the cleaning because when with wet your rug with our rug cleaning process the dry soil will sink down to the backing and it will be hard to clean it.

If your Oriental rug is made of wool silk or any other natural fiber and the label or tag is missing, we will do a fiber identification test.We also do a fastness test to prevents a dye migration or bleeding.

Wool and silk oriental area rugs are dye with acid dyes which makes dye migration a big concern. That’s the reason we take our time doing the test to ensure we choose the right solution and cleaning method.

Each rug has a different fiber type and soiling conditions, your Oriental rug will be pre-treated with a solution to emulsify the soils with a wool-safe solution approved. We always give your rug from 5 to 10 minutes dwell time to get the most soil suspension possible. Our shampoo will get maximum stain removal and we use attention to detail to ensure a deep cleaning.

Most of the spots, such as ones from grease or pet urine, are pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal. The fringes are also pre-treated for maximum soil removal and hand brush to get the most soil removal. Most of the time we are able to make the fringes of your oriental rug be white one more time.

Some rugs and special the ones that have not been cleaned in a while will require additional cleaning to be able to correct the color. We have special procedures and solutions we use to make the fringes look its best.

This step is optional and it’s up to the owner. Also, we never use bleach! Chlorine will damage and create degradation on the fibers

The Rinse process is done with clean and fresh water to prevent cross-contamination and maximum spot cleaning. We use extraction equipment on both sides.

Many flooring manufacturers recommend protector application after every professional cleaning because it helps to keep your rugs clean longer. It will also resist particle soiling as well as oil and water based stains. Protector application is optional but we highly recommend our clients to do it.

Once the soil is rinsed away, the rug will be dried flat or hung to dry in a controlled environment.

Fast drying is crucial to avoid unnatural shrinkage or any dye migration which is very common on area rugs. By drying in a controlled environment we ensure that those color will stay bright all the time.

When the rug is dry, it is combed and finished with soft groomers made for specialty rugs. We will roll your rug in paper and bring it to your home at your convenience time.

Having the appropriate rug pad will prevent wrinkles and slippage of your oriental area rug, which will make a huge difference when you are vacuuming. Oriental Rug Pads help with a cushion to your rugs and at the same time, it makes them last longer. Your floor underneath will be protected from color transfer and stains.

At Rodriguez Cleaning & Restoration, we have padding for your Rugs. If they are going on hardwood floor or carpet, we can help you with that.
