Benefits of Oriental Rug Cleaning

Whether you’re a pet-parent, living with a loved one prone to spills, or just human— it’s likely you’re no stranger to stains. But don’t let that ruin your floors or hold you back from that oriental rug you’ve been wanting to tie the room together!

Check out our tips on the science of cleaning for the two most common rug stains!

#1 Urine Stains

Our furry friends aren’t always the most considerate when it comes to our furniture. So what makes urine stains so bad for our carpets? Two things: discoloration and odor.

Discoloration: The ammonia in the urine will sometimes dye the carpet. At times, the discoloration from the stain can be impossible to remove. Does that mean your nice oriental rug is permanently ruined? No! When properly cleaned, oftentimes the discoloration can be removed. At the very least, the odor and germs associated with the stain can always be eliminated.

Odor: Our methods can effectively guarantee the removal of urine smells from carpets and rugs. By dusting, bathing, brushing, shampooing, and hanging to dry, we remove all existing odors and restore the rug to clean condition.

Our recommendation: Be sure to clean urine stains quickly with chemicals that will not bleach or dye your rug. For urine odors, your best bet is to consult the professionals (unless, of course, you happen to have industrial rug cleaning equipment lying around!)

#2 Drink Stains

Whether you spilled wine on a romantic date night gone wrong, trusted your kid with the big-kid-cup a little too soon, or you’re just not the most coordinated person in town. So let’s dive into the Science of Stains when absorbed into the fabric.

Absorption: Each drink stain is unique and should be treated differently. One universal rule with liquids is that they tend to sink and soak into fabrics. This can lead to discoloration, odor, mold, mildew, and more issues. Regularly cleaning your oriental rug is key for fighting serious cleanliness issues.

Our recommendation: If you or a loved one is prone to stains —and let’s face it, we all have that one person who can’t help it—we recommend adding our FiberProtector treatment at your next ProClean rug cleaning. This is perfect for all fabrics, including oriental rugs and upholstery. FiberProtector actually fills the fibers, instead of just coating them like typical cleaners. This pushes soil and stains out of a rug or upholstery. It is effective for avoiding the absorption of liquid stains and allows spills to wipe off fabric easily.
