Why It’s Best to Leave Oriental Rug Cleaning to the Professionals

In this blog entry, the professional New Jersey carpet cleaning service team here at Carpetline will describe why it’s always best to have your Oriental rugs cleaned by a professional – and the risks to your rugs associated with DIY cleaning methods.

Why can DIY Oriental rug cleaning cause damage?

Improper Oriental rug cleaning methods can cause permanent damage, with issues including:

  • Bleeding Colors– Improper cleaning technique can cause dye to run, destroying the intricate patterns of your rug
  • Warping and Shrinking– Too much moisture can distort the size and shape of your rug
  • Damaged Fibers – Aggressively brushing or scrubbing your rug can cause delicate fibers to fray and loosen the general structure of your rug
  • Inadequate Cleaning– Home cleaning methods usually fail to completely remove deeply-set dirt and allergens, causing your rug to look dull and unattractive, and potentially causing health issues
