Oriental Carpets in Norwalk, CT, Need a Carpet Cleaning Service that Gets It
A real oriental or Persian rug or carpet is a true thing of beauty and some of them sell for many thousands of dollars – even for a rug that is just 8’ x 10’. 
If you have paid for one yourself, you will be well aware of the enormous cost, but if you have inherited a Persian rug or oriental carpet that has been handed down from a previous generation you may not really know just how valuable it is.
None of that really matters until it comes to time for Norwalk CT oriental rug cleaning. Sure, you may vacuum them regularly, but did you know you should also vacuum the backs of them? Not every week, but just occasionally, as this will help remove dust and dirt and also keep the moths at bay. Moths themselves do not eat your beautiful oriental rug, but the females lay hundreds of eggs which turn into larvae, and they do. They will just love your special rug for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a bad infestation can cause serious damage requiring re-weaving which is a lengthy and expensive process.
Pets and Oriental Rug Cleaning
Pets can be a serious problem for expensive oriental (Persian) rugs and carpets and this can be another reason why you may need professional Norwalk CT oriental rug cleaning. While scratching and chewing can be a problem, if your pet is trained that may not occur. However, pet urine can cause considerable damage. It can cause discoloration and rot. Of course, we offer rug cleaning services to homes not just in Norwalk but also in Stamford, Greenwich, and even Darien.
Sunlight can be another problem and it may well cause fading. To some extent this can be a desirable feature, but too much fading can really cause a problem. For this reason, it is advisable to turn rugs every so often so that the sunlight is spread evenly and any light fading also. It is also a good idea to draw blinds or curtains if there is strong sun when the room is not being used.
Another point to consider when you have Persian or oriental rugs is the furniture. You should avoid placing heavy furniture on them as far as possible, but if you have to you should use small casters under sharp pointed or small feet.
If you have a rug which is of genuine silk, then you should definitely have a professional undertake Norwalk CT oriental rug cleaning. The same thing applies to a rug made of bamboo silk or even viscose rayon which is “fake” silk, as both are likely to suffer from color bleed and become brittle if you wash them. Then again, you may not be aware of exactly what material the rug or carpet is made of, so this is another very good reason for calling in the professionals.
