Published on Tuesday, 21 July 2009
Rugs are used in almost all kinds of places, ranging from offices, homes, hotels and many others. The method used to clean rugs will differ according to the rug material, structure, texture and colour. Here are some of the popular techniques used for cleaning rugs. Machines Most cleaning companies, which specialise in rug cleaning, have dedicated machines to do the cleaning job. These are highly specialised machines for cleaning rugs. The rug is washed by hand first and then put into the machine for added cleaning. Machine cleaning of rugs expedites the process and is hassle free. Special brushes inside the machine aid the cleaning process and jets of high power spray soap solution of appropriate pH balance. According to the rug thickness, brush height in the machine can be altered. Equipments for rinsing Once the machines clean the rug, it is then rinsed with specialised rinsing equipment. All detergent and dirt residues are thoroughly removed by these rinsing equipments. This process helps to restore the original shine and lustre of the rug. Chemicals and detergents used Rug cleaning companies also use specific chemicals as well as detergents according to the kind of stains and extent of dirt accumulated on the rug. Various dust and grime residues are dissolved and softened to aid easy removal. Detergents with appropriate pH levels are used for this purpose. Steam cleaning One common method used for rug cleaning is the steaming technique. If your rug is delicate and you think direct cleaning can damage it, then steam cleaning is ideal for this purpose. Since steam cleaning involves lesser amount of direct contact, there is less likelihood of damage to the rug. Extent of dirt In order to determine the technique of rug cleaning, you must know the extent of accumulated dirt. If you kick the rug from behind and dust emanates it means it needs cleaning. If your palm is soiled when you stroke the carpet, it is time for cleaning.
