Carpet Rugs, Wool Rugs and 100% Silk Rugs are not the same!

They are not the same and should not be -washed the same!

Hand woven 100% silk and wool Oriental Rugs from Iran, Turkey, China, India and Pakistan have been prized for centuries throughout the world for their spectacular radiant beauty, intricately woven patterns and magnificent range of colors. If you are lucky enough to own such a splendid piece of art, at some point you will need to have your rug professionally cleaned and choosing the right Oriental Rug cleaning company makes all the difference.

Because of the delicate nature of silk and wool fibers, Persian Silk Ghoum rugs, Turkish Silk Hereke rugs, Chinese Sino Silk Ghoum rugs and India Silk Kashmir rugs all need high level expert knowledge in the very special care to properly hand wash these hand woven treasures.  The cleaning techniques and solutions used for silk and wool rugs are different and more involved than the cleaning process for nylon and Berber wall-to-wall rugs.   If done correctly, a properly cleaned silk or wool Oriental rug will look as vibrant and lustrous as when it was first woven.

Unfortunately many Oriental Rug cleaning companies do not have the knowledge or facilities to correctly clean Oriental Rugs.  They may try to surface wash the rug or use a truck-mount or other unfortunate attempts to clean your rug – but Tru Clean of Cape Coral knows every rug needs to be hand washed one at a time on a flat surface with organic cleaners made for wool and a different one made for silk.

Never allow a carpet cleaning company to clean your wool or silk area rugs at your home.  Handmade and tufted wool and silk rugs are delicate and require specialized procedures such as dusting, hand-washing, dedicated cleaning and spotting solutions, deodorization and controlled drying.  They must be hand cleaned in a facility specifically designed for the care and preservation of fine area rugs.
