Sheet Rug
5 Tips For Carpet and Rug Cleaning
After a fire or water loss one thing is for sure. You will need your carpets cleaned and restored. Oriental rugs are often the most expense by the square foot and need special attention. Handling the rugs in a proper manner immediately will save you headaches down the road.
The first task you will want to do is extract the water from the rug/carpet immediately! Dyes will migrate as a rug lays in water, so the longer it lies the worse it will get. Older rugs/carpet can be difficult if not impossible to color correct. To reduce this risk, extract water immediately.
While removing the water, run your wand with the grain. This will do two things. One, It is physically easier to do and puts less stress on your body and Two, It will prevent and minimize fiber distortion which on some rugs is nearly impossible to fix.
If you have to move your rugs from one area to the next, please DO NOT STACK THEM! Color dyes may run from carpet to carpet. In the end you could have just a pile of ruined carpets. To alleviate this problem do one of two things. One, Roll the rugs up and place in plastic bags (Only if you are transporting and removing quickly from the plastic, long term storage will not allow the rugs to fully dry and may cause mold growth). Two (Best Option), Place a sheet or towel on the rugs and roll them up individually.
One of the most popular and possibly the most damaging ways to dry thick rugs and carpets are too put them out in the sun to dry. Even a short trip in front of the sun’s rays could fade your rug. I would recommend that you not place your rug in your home in place where the sun hits it for a long time and not outside in the sun. This will surely damage your wet carpet. Best method is to extract the water and put several fans directed at it to get air moving and dry it out faster. If you must lay them out in the sun, lay them top side down and on a flat surface.
Finally, do not drip dry your rugs. Dyes can go into your wool fibers if you do this, or run into the other dyes of your carpet. It may end up looking more tie-dye than intricately designed in the end. If there are no dyes, you still shouldn not drip dry. Carpets are often thick enough that it will never fully dry the one end the water is dripping off.
In summary, remember these carpet restoration tips:
1.Extract the Water Immediately
2.Extract water WITH the grain
3.Do not stack your wet rugs
4.Never dry in direct sunlight
5.Do not drip dry
