At Silk & Shine Rug Spa, we follow a carefully designed cleaning process specifically tailored for Persian rugs. Our advanced techniques and high-quality equipment ensure that your rug is thoroughly cleaned while maintaining the integrity of its fibers and colors.
1- Automatic Dusting: The First Step to a Deep Clean
Persian rugs are notorious for holding onto dry dirt that’s invisible to the naked eye but harmful to the rug’s fibers over time. That’s why the first step in our cleaning process is an essential dusting procedure using our automatic rug duster.
Unlike traditional vacuum cleaners, our automatic rug duster quickly and efficiently removes dirt, sand, dust, pet hair, and other dry particles from both sides of the rug. This step ensures that all loose contaminants are removed before the washing process begins. Persian rugs tend to cling to more dust than other types of rugs, making this step incredibly important to prevent long-term fiber damage.
2- Hand Washing with Water and Vinegar
Next, we move on to the central part of our cleaning process: washing Persian rugs by hand. Persian rugs require a gentle yet effective wash to maintain their natural beauty. At Silk & Shine Rug Spa, we use a combination of water and vinegar for washing Persian rugs. This method is safe, effective, and eco-friendly.
By the time the washing process is complete, what’s left in your rug is pure water—free from harsh chemicals and residues. This gentle yet thorough washing process helps preserve the rug’s intricate patterns and colors.
3- Centrifuge for Water Extraction
After hand-washing, the rug goes through a high-speed centrifuge to remove excess water. The centrifuge effectively spins out all the moisture from the rug, leaving it damp but not soaked. This step not only speeds up the drying process but also prevents issues like mold, mildew, or unpleasant odors caused by moisture retention.
4- Controlled Drying in a Specialized Room
Once water is extracted, the rug is placed in our drying room, a climate-controlled space that ensures optimal drying conditions, regardless of the weather outside. This drying room is equipped with:
Rapid drying is crucial for Persian rugs because prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to fiber damage, mildew, and odors. Our system ensures that your rug is dried quickly and thoroughly, minimizing the risk of issues like mold growth or unpleasant smells.
While routine vacuuming and maintenance are important, professional Persian rug cleaning offers several additional benefits:
• Deep Cleaning: Our process removes deeply embedded dirt, bacteria, and allergens that regular vacuuming cannot reach.
• Odor Removal: Vinegar neutralizes unpleasant odors, such as those from pets or smoke, leaving your rug smelling fresh.
• Fiber Protection: By using gentle cleaning methods, we help maintain the rug’s natural oils, ensuring its fibers stay soft and intact.
• Extended Rug Lifespan: Proper care and cleaning prevent premature wear and tear, preserving your rug’s beauty for years to come.
The team pride themselves in their colouring process for rugs that have dye run. When some rugs get over wet or are water damaged, the colours can become unstable and run into each other (colour run) ie red or dark blue can run into the white or cream patterns in the rug. Silk & Shine Rug Spa use a specially made stripping agent which will remove the colour run and return the white pattern back to its original state.
The best way to clean a Persian rug is through professional steam cleaning, which effectively removes dust, grime, stains, and odours without damaging the delicate fibres.
Silk & Shine Rug Spa has 40 years of experience in the cleaning industry. We used gentle and eco-friendly cleaning products to protect your persian rug life.
We fully submerge the rug in our purpose-built wash pit, gently press and clean it, and use a special sanitizer to remove pet stains and odours.
Yes, steam cleaning is safe and effective for Persian rugs. It cleans deep within the fibres, removing dust, dirt, bacteria, and allergens while preserving the rug’s quality.
For optimal care, Persian rugs should be professionally cleaned every 1-2 years, depending on the amount of foot traffic and exposure to dirt and spills.
