Professional Solutions for High-Traffic Area Rug Woes

Comfort and beauty- both are the outcomes of a good rug if the comfort piece is properly maintained. Any one of them shouldn’t be compromised because that will spoil the beauty of the rug and also reduce the comfort. One of the reasons why you will find your rug gets harmed is high traffic. Knowing about them can help you take good care of your favorite rug.

But, what happens if the floor cover is already affected? Let’s read the article and learn about professional solutions for high-traffic area rug woes.

How High Traffic Damages Rug Fibers

With footsteps dirt, sand, and other particles get into the home. They can easily stick to the rugs and accumulate there resulting in causing damage to the fibers. Continuous friction by the shoes and even slippers also can be defective to its surface.

Another way high traffic reduces the integrity of the rugs is by flattening them. It won’t be a surprise to discover that the colors of the rugs are faded and the pile of the rug is getting lower with time. That’s how it degrades the look and the lifespan of the rug.

How to Prevent Rug Woes?

It would be a bad idea to stop people stepping on the rug. By taking some actions can retain its value, design, and comfort. Those are:

  • Vacuuming the rug regularly
  • Spot cleaning
  • Using quality rug pads
  • Rotating rug after a certain interval
  • Avoiding direct sunlight
  • Being careful about pets and spills
  • Taking professional help

Why Take Professional Help?

The DIY method or regular cleaning of rugs at home has several limitations. One of them is it can’t extract the dirt from the fiber that reaches deeper. As a rug user, you should remember that a single cleaning method wouldn’t be suitable for every rug type. And, only a professional team has the expertise and necessary tech support to cover that. The self-approach also leaves the chance of causing damage to the rugs. An expert rug cleaning on the other hand ensures all the benefits of a cleaned rug such as allergen removal, saving time, etc.

Cleaning Process for High-Traffic Rug Woes

Inspection: This step of rug cleaning identifies the issues in the rug and determines the cleaning requirements according to the rug type. Dusting: It’s important to lose the dirt from the rug fibers before starting the cleaning. Hand-brush, vacuum cleaners, etc. are used for that. Cleaning: This is the core part of the rug cleaning. Several methods are there for rug cleaning. Wet cleaning, steam cleaning, and hot water extraction are among the most popular ones. Drying: This critical step is carefully done so that the rug doesn’t get any damage in the post-rug cleaning condition or mold or mildew doesn’t grow on the surface. Brushing & Fringe Grooming: This is the final touch that helps maintain the beauty of the rugs. It also helps avoid damage by wear and tear and enhances the softness.

After following all these steps the final inspection is done and the rug is delivered to the owner.

Highly recommended! I had an oriental rug that had been used in a public setting for 25 years and had only ever been cleaned on-site. It wasn't needed any more so I decided to try to get it cleaned properly so I could take it home. They did a fabulous job of cleaning and repair (new fringe and binding), so worth the cost, it now looks new.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value We had a very good experience with Greg at Heirloom Rug Cleaning. We mistakenly used an improper cleaning solution on our wool rug and he was willing to take on the job.

I absolutely loved how clean my rugs were after Heirloom Oriental Rug Cleaning had them. My two very expensive silk on silk carpets are so soft and the colours are so vibrant now!
