Oriental Rug Cleaning | Area Rug Cleaning Palm Beach, FL

Our area rug cleaning experts enjoy cleaning Oriental and antique rugs because no two cleaning jobs in Palm Beach are the same when working with these unique and oftentimes decades-old pieces. We take pride in our ability to single out every little detail regarding your rug – the end result is nothing less than a perfect cleaning method. Washing them by hand is great and should always be used when working with imported ones. However, we also go above and beyond during our cleaning in order to achieve perfection – while we guarantee the use of gentle cleaning agents that will nurture your it back to health, another company in Palm Beach might use heavy chemicals during their 'handwashing' and damage it as a result. And what about the drying process? Often overlooked, cleaners that do incorrect drying can make the fabrics rougher (sometimes even permanently, to a certain extent) and can make the whole rug feel as if it has lost something.

Cleaning of imported rugs from the Orient is probably our most frequent task, but it can also be the most complicated one. We can't say we've cleaned two identical Oriental rugs, or even some near-identical ones – not too surprising, considering virtually every one of them is handmade from start to finish. More than the weavers' personal touch plays a role in the end result – their mood on each given day also helps shape the its final appearance. To cherish this high level of uniqueness, we've worked on perfecting our cleaning process until we knew we could guarantee every millimeter of the fabric remaining the same. True to their purpose, most of our customers use them as wall decorations instead of floor covering, especially one that would receive traffic. Unfortunately, this doesn't guarantee that it will stay in good condition – from dust and mold to various pests that can consume parts of the rug, there is little chance of it staying pristine unless it's sealed in plastic wrap.

Antique Area Rug Cleaners - Repair and Restoration Services

Just as each antique rug is its own story, every antique area rug cleaning job needs to be a story of its own – a story of restoration and preservation, rather than one of damage and loss. We see antiques for what they really are – timeless gateways into cultures before they underwent massive changes over the course of centuries. A single antique can give any room a distinct and expensive appearance, but it can also make people lament on how it should have been better cared for.

Despite the immense delicacy of the fabrics (and often the dyes as well), antiques need to be cleaned every so often to maintain the feel of the texture. They benefit from cleaning the same way any other type would, although the methods are often a world of difference away. Whenever in the inspection stage of an antique-rug cleaning job, we think of ourselves as historians instead of cleaners – our job is to learn as much as we can about its history and how it came to its current state. Only when we feel we can write a small book on your antique will we move onto the actual cleaning.

Fortunately, cleaning tends to be a breeze by this point – gentle dry cleaning followed by hand washing with smaller amounts of water, topped off with a quick wring that expels moisture from the fabric very quickly without damaging it. If you own one, you've probably been instructed not to have it cleaned at all due to its vulnerability. We fully agree with this sentiment when it is being cleaned by anyone other than Palm Beach Oriental Rug Cleaning Pros.

Over the past few decades, Persian rugs have established themselves as one of the best ways to decorate any indoors environment in Palm Beach and give it a special touch that is hard to describe with words. While their price puts them out of reach of many – especially in the case of larger or particularly old pieces – those fortunate enough to find themselves in possession of one will want to stick to it and pass it onto future generations.

Given their role as floor covering just as often as it is decoration, this can prove to be a tall order. Foot traffic brings about dirt, which roughs up the fabric and makes it less smooth. More alarmingly, dirt left around for too long can permanently discolor it, which is why we recommend regular Persian area rug cleaning that are used to cover floors.

While other types are bought for aesthetic reasons as they feature complex designs and unique weaves, wool is meant to provide utility more than anything else. Despite the high price, few can disagree that a wool rug is a great investment for many different reasons: it keeps you warm during the winter, has its own way of keeping spills and fires at bay, and is geared towards the long haul. Due to the nature of the fabric, wool area rug cleaning is best cleaned by professionals who have experience dealing with finer and/or more specific materials – we fit this description to a T.

We don't just treat it like a piece of cloth – we understand that its fibers came from a living animal that works full-time to give us one of the finest fabrics on the planet. We find this approach does wonders to preserve wool's unmistakable softness and finesse while also letting us clean it inside and out. Don't catch yourself becoming one of those wool-rug owners who force it to fend for itself. While wool's defenses are impressive, they're not magical. Don't wait until you learn of wool's limitations the hard way. Instead, we can handle your wool area rug cleaning and have us keep it in its default condition: comfortable, clean and having a nice, natural scent.
