Pre – Inspection

The first step that we take is to examine your rug very thoroughly and note down areas that need repair. With this done, we come up with appropriate repairing solutions that can be implemented without appearing out of place or affecting the quality of the rug. We also brief you about the techniques that we would be using and after your approval, we being with our handmade process for repairing oriental rugs.

Fringes Repair

The fringes are the often the most worn part of oriental rugs. We make use of proper materials and repair the fringes. We are aware that fringes are the foundation of oriental rugs, and so we do this very carefully so as not to damage your rug in the process of rug repair. We secure the end of the fringe by strong stitches and prepare it as a base for the new fringe. We then lay the new fringe on it and affix it in place. The original fringe ends are cut shorter so that they become noticeable, giving way to a neater appearance.

Overcast Stitch

An overcast stitch anchors the knots of the rug in their appropriate places so that the rug does not unravel. We take about an inch of the rug’s original fringe and knot it into a consistent row from left to right. We do this properly, and there the over stitch will never get undone, maintaining the longevity of your rug.

Side Repair

All along the length, the Oriental rug is held in place by the side cords which secure the rows of weaves in their position. If the side cord is not secured properly, we add more stitches. In a completely worn out side cord, this may not work and so we replace it with a new one. After fixing this, we wrap it in a material that goes with the color of your rug.

Color Depreciation

If your rug has lost color during a wash, it may be possible to repair it. We dye it again in the same color and the appearance improves considerably.

So if your Oriental rug needs a repair, let us know. We are sure you are not going to be disappointed with what we have for you.

Area Rug Cleaning – Tips & Rules of Thumb

Area rugs are the most common rugs found in a home next to wall to wall carpet. For this reason it is very easy for them to become infested with grime and dirt from high foot traffic. The dirt does not just affect the surface where you see it the most. It works itself all the way down into the material and shortens the rugs life drastically. Cleaning a small area rug can be as simple as submerging it in water with your preferred cleaner, but for larger area rugs it is not that simple. Of course it is always best to call our professionals for a good expert cleaning, but there are also things you can do to extend your rugs life and keep it looking beautiful.

Tips for keeping your area rug in good shape

The number one rule for large area rugs is to rotate them at least once a year; twice a year if the foot traffic is particularly heavy. Depending on the area the rug is in, vacuuming should be done anywhere from once a week to once a month. In addition to vacuuming the surface area of the rug you should also flip it over and vacuum the underside as well. This will get the dust and dirt that has gathered underneath the rug and anything that has made it from the surface to the bottom.  

While vacuuming is extremely important to the longevity of your area rug, sometimes it is not only enough. Once in a while it will need a deep cleaning that a vacuum simply can’t provide. If you are willing to do this yourself you must first make sure to look at the rugs label to see any special instructions. Each piece is made differently and you may have to take specific precautions with each one to keep from ruining them by inadvertently. The most common precaution is the avoidance of certain chemicals that will damage the rugs material. While our professionals are acutely aware of such precautions, a layperson may not be.

?Dry cleaning or water cleaning the rug 

 The next thing that you must consider is if you are going to clean the rug with water or through the method of dry cleaning. There are dry clean kits for area rugs sold in stores that work quite well when used properly. The kit contains powder cleaner that works by soaking up odors and stains. It is a good idea to have it on hand in case of a spill. This way you can get it up as quickly and effectively as possible. You can also use a carpet shampooer, but if you do you should make sure that you do not leave the rug wet. Of course it will remain damp until it dries naturally but you never want it to be sopping with water.

Deep Cleaning an oriental rug on your own can be simple if you just follow the instructions as outlined above. But when in doubt you should call the professionals. You can call for advice or call to make an appointment to have the experts come in to do the job for you. 

Silk and Oriental Rug Cleaning in New York

At 'Carpet Cleaning NY' , we have a wide variety of services to suit your needs.

Treating Water Damages Carpets and Walls

If you have had water damage in your home, we offer help for you with that. When you call us to come to help you with water damage to your carpeting, we will come and look at the carpeting. We will then use special equipment to find where the moisture is in your carpeting.

We use a special vacuum system to remove any water that is visible. Then, we use special sanitizers on all the carpeting on the floor. The next thing that we do is dry out your walls with professional tools. This technology dries the inside of the walls using warm air. This means that you will not need to tear down your wall and put a new wall up in its place. We then use special dehumidifiers and fans to get rid of any more moisture that is in the room. By the time we are finished, it will be like there was never any flooding to your 

room. 

Silk and Oriental Rug Restoration

At Sunlight Fine Rug Care and Restoration, we also do work on silk and oriental rugs. When we look at a rug, we make sure that we know where and when the rug was made. We also take the time to look into what the rug is made of and what colors have been put into it with dyes. The first thing that we will do with your fine silk or Oriental rug is look for any bleeding that may have happened with the colors. We will look for any kind of pet or animal damage or stains to the rug. We will also be looking for any chemical damage or damage done by bugs. We take into account these factors, and a variety of others, to decide how we will clean your rug because your rug is precious to you.

Next, we will be dusting your rug. This will involve getting down deep into the fibers to remove and dust or dirt that you are unlikely to be able to see without special equipment. It's important to get rid of any materials that are in the rug that don't belong there. We use a deep pile process to make sure that we get all of the dusting done properly. We will also offer to moth proof your rug, if you choose to do that.

Hand Washing and Lanolin

Next, we hand wash your rug with a very gentle shampoo that won't cause any damage or wear to the rug. We then groom the rug very carefully, taking care to make sure that we are giving protection to the dyes that are in your rug. We have a special drying process in order to do this. The next step is the lanolin. Lanolin helps to make sure that the rug's beauty lasts a very long time. The way that we put in the lanolin will help to maintain the colors of your oriental or silk rug. We then use a process to soften your rug. We may also use a chemical on your rug to help protect it from stains. We will then use a special deodorizer on the rug, if that is needed.

       You can trust us with your most delicate rugs, because our process for cleaning can’t be beat.
