To prevent these risks and many others, we have worked at a flawless silk rug cleaning routine:
Silk Rug Assessment
We use special assessment tools
Our experts will use a magnifying glass, special lighting, and other assessment tools that will allow them to determine what kind of fabrics and fibers have been used during the weaving, the nature of the dyes, the nature and degree of the damage in case of staining, and so on.
We carefully examine the color dyes
They will also decide whether the rug has been dyed using natural, plant-based dyes that could bleed during the washing, or synthetic color dyes that may also start to run when water and other cleaning products are in use.
We look for additional fibers and fabrics in the rug
Whenever our technicians will come across nylon or wool intertwined with the natural silk fibers, they will need to use a different approach for vacuuming, washing, removing stains, and drying the rugs.
The Silk Rug Cleaning Procedure
- We proceed by vacuuming both sides of the rugs, several times, as needed. This will ensure all traces of dirt, dust, and residual debris will be removed, repairing the rug for the washing step.
- We use delicate, environmentally-friendly, non-harmful stain removal products ad apply them on any visible stains and spots on the rugs. We only work with top-quality stain removers that will ensure no damage will be done to the structure of the fibers, the original colors and patterns, and the overall strength and durability of the rug.
- The next step of the process refers to the actual washing, which is never done at a high temperature because of the potentially harmful effect of hot water on a silk rug.
- Using water at a regular temperature, we will proceed to wash the rug using very gentle scrubbing and washing moves and delicate brushes and finally let the rug sit in a temperature-controlled room to dry.
- We can also apply special deodorizing treatments that will leave your freshly washed rugs smelling fresh and brand new for a few weeks.
