SERAPI RUG CLEANING PROCESS

A Healthier Home

For years, the cleaning of area rugs was all about preserving the durability and value of the rugs. However, many studies in recent years have found that the dust and grit are not only injurious to the rug but also a source of health problems at home. The dust embedded into the pile of the rug has been found to contain pollen, dust mites, mold and allergens such as pet dander. Our deep wash process and thorough washing and rinsing techniques emulsify and float away fine particulate matter.

Area rugs are meant to be walked on; the are made to be durable. But they are not invincible; when it comes time for cleaning, it should be done with care. Over time, dust can become embedded in the rug's fibers causing them to become packed and matted. These particles can cause a rug’s fibers to become brittle and sensitive to damage, impacting the appearance, life and value of your rug. Proper cleaning rids a rug of these particles and restores a rug’s luster. And we love our rugs with buster.

We recommend rugs to be professional cleaned every 2-5 years. Area rugs specifically require a unique cleaning methodology that is very different from standard carpet cleaning that is normally done at home.

In short: rug cleaning is complex. The appropriate treatment for a given rug is determined by its weave, age, condition, and the type of dirt found on it. Our skilled staff have the required knowledge of oriental rugs and hands-on cleaning experience to ensure the best care and cleaning of your rugs.

We treat your rug with respect as an art form and protect its artistic and intrinsic value.
