handmade rugs (including Persian Rugs and Oriental Rugs) will require rug cleaning solutions that are PH neutral in order to avoid damaging the rugs natural fibres, colour fading and even colour bleeding.
Professional rug cleaners will also ensure that the correct drying process for your rug is used. Rugs must be dried carefully in a controlled environment – if they are not dried fast enough with proper ventilation and air movement there is a possibility they could shrink or stretch and become permanently damaged.
To avoid risking any damage to your rug during the cleaning process, always make sure you choose a professional rug cleaner who has the knowledge and equipment to properly care for your rugs.
