Scrubbing and scouring is the good old fashion of cleaning your home tidy. I too agree with it to some extent, but not with cleaning your carpet. And there is no denying that this is the biggest place that will accumulate dust, and mud, and if that wasn’t enough, you will be having a really hard time cleaning that spill of red wine, or milk.
And there is no other way to increase the durability of your oriental carpets other than cleaning them. While to many people, this process might look too simple, but it is not. Not if you are making these mistakes:
You are not using enough water to clean your oriental carpet
Common mistake that everyone makes. Most people think that if they use too much water, it be remain under the carpet, which will then create an environment for bacteria and other insects to come. What most people don’t know, is that the wool fibers that are used in your oriental rug, is stain resistant. So all you need to do, is wash it with adequate water to get rid of it.
But if you are using an excess of water after reading this advice, then make sure that you are drying your rug thoroughly to make sure that you don’t damage your rug because of too much moisture.
Using deodorizing powder while cleaning your oriental rug cleaning
Oh boy, this is the second biggest mistake. That deodorizing powder was never meant to de-odor your oriental rug. And even if you use it, that powder should not be the only thing that you use. Also, your vacuum cleaner isn’t strong enough to pick that powder. This only means that you will end up making your oriental rug more and more dirty over time.
You Never Call Those Professionals
This is not a DIY that everyone can do it perfectly without any risks. Even if you think that you are better than others, you are still damaging your rug to some extent. It does take a lot of effort to deal with these things, such as knowing what material is used in the making of this rug, what solutions one should use to ensure proper cleaning, and what kind of dirt and dusts they will have to deal with while cleaning.
I would recommend you to hire a professional persian rug cleaning dallas and other oriental styles service to deal with this, because there is no better option. And if you think that you can learn all these things from the internet, and then work perfectly, then you are wrong. It does take a lot of practice, which only means that you will be doing further damage to your oriental rug.
You are using wrong cleaning solutions
Every carpet that is made, should be cleaned with different materials according to the materials used for making it. Most of those carpets are made of wool fibers, which are strong and durable, but they die early, because of the unstable color used on them, and the cleaning solutions used on them. If you are using that carpet shampoo to clean your oriental rug, then you should stop it immediately.
That shampoo is meant to clean those synthetic carpets, and not your oriental rug.
You Procrastinate
This is the most common issue. You procrastinate to clean that stain off your rug for another day. Or maybe you think that you are too tired now to clean it, and you will definitely do it when you are not tired after work. And we all know that tomorrow never comes until its too late.
You should clean that stain from your oriental rug immediately. It doesn’t matter whether you are tired or not, because once that stain settles down, it will become much harder for you to clean it.
