Oriental and Persian Rug Cleaning

Why Professional Oriental Rug Cleaning is a Must for Rug Owners in SW Florida

If you own a cherished Oriental or Persian area rug, you likely value its beauty, craftsmanship, and the cultural significance it represents. These rugs often serve as a centerpiece in a home, providing warmth and elegance. However, owning such a luxurious piece comes with the responsibility of proper care.

Vacuuming may be part of your routine, but it’s far from enough. Over time, fine dirt, sand, and contaminants settle deep within your rug’s dense pile. These particles act like tiny blades, cutting at the wool or silk foundation yarns. Left unchecked, this wear leads to accelerated fading, unsightly traffic lanes, and structural deterioration.

Let’s examine why professional cleaning is essential for Oriental and Persian rug owners, the risks associated with neglecting cleaning, and how Oriental Rug Salon ensures your rug receives the care it deserves.

The Risks of Skipping Professional Rug Cleaning

Deep Dirt and Sand Accumulation

Regular vacuuming only removes surface-level debris. Sand, dried spills, pet urine, and dirt embedded in the pile are abrasive and can damage the foundation over time and lead to dry rot, discoloration, dye migration, and face yarn damage.

Health Risks

Rugs can harbor dust mites, pollen, viruses, and other allergens. These contaminants cannot be vacuumed away, potentially causing respiratory issues or allergic reactions to pets and children who may crawl or play on a wool or silk area rug.

Stains and Odors

Spills, including coffee, tea, sodas, and pet urine left untreated seep into the fibers, creating permanent stains and unpleasant odors. Professional cleaning by Oriental Rug Salon removes these issues at their source.

Fiber Deterioration

Without professional care, the fibers in your rug break down faster, diminishing the rugs value, lifespan, and beauty.
