Rug Cleaning Perth

A rug is one of the things that add beauty to a room. And we cannot overlook the fact that it can easily get dirty. Food particles can easily drop on it so also dust, grease and coffee. To preserve your investment you need to know to clean rug the right way.

Rugs that are made of wool or hand-knotted rugs needs to be treated with lot of care. A rug and carpet care professional will likely be necessary. Maintenance of the rug can be done at home once it is appropriately done. Materials and tools needed for rug cleaning are

– Vacuum– Rubber gloves (optional)– Rug shampoo or mild dish detergent– Bucket– Sponge– Soft-bristled brush– Squeegee– Water

To maintain a rug, at least once a month flip it upside down and vacuum the back of the rug. Vacuuming the back with the beater bar/rotating brush helps push dirt trapped deep down toward the top of the rug. Flip it right side up and vacuum the dirt. Use only suction on the front of wool rugs, for synthetic rugs you can use the beater bar/rotating brush on the front and back.

Do not vacuum fringe or tassels. They are delicate material, and easily tangled in the vacuum’s beater bar or ripped by the suction. Fluffing them by hand is all they need. Anything else can cause damage to them.

How To Clean Rug Like A PRO

Use dilute white vinegar to restore the rug color. Dilute the vinegar, 1 part to 3 parts water, and blot slowly and in the direction of the carpet pile with a sponge. Merely damp the carpet without soaking it. Allow it to air dry without exposing to the sun.To remove any insect infestation from the rug borax is the most effective because it naturally coats and degrades the exoskeletons of insects and destroys larvae and eggs. Sprinkle on the rug, wait approximately 20 minutes, and vacuum. Make sure there are no pets near the rug that could potentially inhale the borax, which is a mildly toxic irritant.

When cleaning the rug with a chemical, first do a spot test so as to avoid discoloration. Follow the mixing instructions on a store-bought rug cleaner/shampoo, or add a couple of capfuls of mild dish detergent to a bucket of warm water. Stop using hot water, as it may shrink fibers or fade color

Use a sponge or brush, to work a lather of shampoo or detergent deep into the rug. Allow the solution to stay on the rug for several minutes before rinsingOnce the solution has stayed, thoroughly rinse the rug with a garden hose, ensuring the water is clear of soap suds.Ensure you remove excess water. Squeeze as much water out of the rug as you can with your squeegee, being careful to work only in the direction of the rug’s nap

After squeezing out water, lay the rug flat to dry. Once the top side is dry, flip it over to dry the bottom part.

A vacuum/ soft-bristled brush can loosen up the rug fibers, as they may compact during washing and drying processes.
