Conservation and maintenance of oriental carpets

Carpet cleaning is very important for maintaining the softness, colors and quality of your carpets over time. There are many factors that can threaten the state of a carpet, be it small or large: smog, humidity, etc. Therefore, every customer needs serious and professional staff with a great experience behind them, to obtain an efficient and complete service, suited to his needs.

We recommend constant and thorough cleaning, carried out frequently with a good quality vacuum cleaner, avoiding the use of accessories with rotating brushes which can sometimes damage the fibers of high-quality carpets over time.

The use of a carpet cleaner is not recommended as it damages the weft, the warp and wears out the fleece. It is also not recommended to clean with ammonia which spoils the colors.

For home cleaning of the surface of the carpet it is advisable to use a broom: proceed by moistening the broom with water and then “combing” the surface of the carpet with it, following the direction of the weaving.

A more constant washing over time, gives the carpet more softness avoiding deterioration (eg micro cuts) resulting from the “dryness” of the yarns.

Washing is recommended at least every three to four years or more frequently when the carpet is placed in a high traffic area. The carpet must be washed by qualified personnel and not by the common dry cleaners.

Once the right importance was not given to the washing of a carpet, but today this is a fundamental service that requires its time and its experts, above all due to the increasing pollution and dust that creates gaseous patinas on the fleece, so much so as to stiffen the fibers and crumble the product slowly.

In short, washing is part of the maintenance of the carpet, to maintain it over time and therefore make a valid purchase worthwhile.

The use of specific soaps, softeners and anti-moth treatment  gives the carpet a renewed brilliance in the colors and the guarantee of a longer lasting conservation.

Here are some important points to note:

– Never leave the carpet exposed to direct sunlight;

– Once a year change the position of the carpet to be able to walk on all sides evenly.

Our commercial carpet cleaning company, Proluxcleaning, is attentive to the type of materials used for this type of treatment, offering a quality service in line with high standards.
