Exceptional Area Rug Cleaning in Norfolk, VA
Area Rug Cleaning in Norfolk, VA That Actually Gets Rugs Clean
Area rugs do a lot for the homes they are in. They keep people’s living rooms looking nice and provide comfort to people in their hallways while also protecting their hardwood floors from the wear and tear that comes with daily life at home. In Norfolk, however, the climate is not as accommodating for rugs as some of the other regions of the country. The humidity, the salt in the air, and the amount of sand that falls onto these rugs from the nearby beaches all contribute to the fact that the rugs in Norfolk become dirty much more quickly than rugs in other regions of the country. Bay Rug Cleaning Co.’s area rug cleaning is not a side service that we offer to those that come to us for other carpet or floor services; area rug cleaning in Norfolk is one of the two services on which we focus entirely on delivering the best possible service to our customers.
Why Area Rugs Need Specialized Cleaning
Many people feel that regular vacuuming of their rugs will provide the same results as renting a carpet cleaning machine once a year. Neither of these solutions comes close to offering rugs the care that they require. Vacuuming only removes the debris that is sitting on the rugs. The fine dust, pet dander, and other allergens that may accumulate on the rugs over time will not be able to be removed by a vacuum. Carpet cleaning machines are created for use on carpeting that is vacuumed directly on the floor. Area rugs come with a different backing and can be easily damaged by using a carpet cleaning machine on them.
Professional area rug cleaning in Norfolk was built specifically around the needs of a freestanding rug. The area rug cleaning in Norfolk process begins with a thorough inspection of the rug to ensure that the rug will be treated in a way that suits the rug itself, instead of some standard “one size fits all” procedure for area rug cleaning in Norfolk.
A Local Approach for a Local Climate
We can work with any type of rug found in homes and businesses throughout Norfolk. Whether it is wool, synthetic or polypropylene fibers, cotton, natural fibers such as jute or sisal, shag rugs or braided rugs, we have the expertise to care for all rug types in our area.
Common Problems We Solve
The rugs that come to our shop in Norfolk and the surrounding areas come for a variety of reasons. However, most of the rugs that come to our shop fall into a few common categories.
One of the most common rug problems in the Norfolk area is rugs with pet stains and odors. In many instances, the urine from pets can penetrate the rug fibers and rug backing. If rug cleaners attempt to clean the rug, the odor will not be completely removed from the rug. Our area rug cleaning in Norfolk processes will flush these deep set issues out of the rug to restore it to its original fiber state.
Allergens and dust buildup is another major factor of rug wear, especially in homes with small children, pets, or members of the family that are allergy sensitive. Rugs that have not been professionally cleaned in a year or more often retain a surprising amount of dust and allergens.
General wear on a rug from foot traffic is another of the leading causes of rugs wearing down with time. Regular professional rug cleaning can help to maintain the color and texture of your rug so that it does not lose its luster over time.
Lastly, the wear on rugs from sand and grit from beach trips or areas that are near the water are a concern here in Norfolk. The abrasive nature of sand can contribute to the wearing down of rug fibers from the inside out with regular use.
Our Area Rug Cleaning In Norfolk Process
Every rug we clean goes through a thorough, multi step process that is specifically designed to remove the soil from the rug without damaging the rug’s material.
The process starts with a full inspection of the rug, as well as the removal of any dust that may be sitting on the rug’s fibers. This initial step can pull out several pounds of sand and dust that may have collected on the rug over time, but which a vacuum has not been able to remove, and protects the rug’s fibers from ground down during the rug cleaning process.
Next comes the wash itself. Depending upon the fiber content of the rug (wool, synthetic, cotton, jute, blends), the rugs will be treated with appropriate solutions and methods. Wool rugs will be treated differently than most synthetic rugs.
Once the rugs are washed, they are rinsed to remove the cleaning solution. It is important to rinse rugs thoroughly; rugs that are not rinsed properly will develop a sticky residue that will actually attract dirt to the rug after washing.
Lastly, rugs are dried in a controlled drying environment. Improper drying can lead to damage to rugs including mildew smell, color bleeding, and fiber breakdown. Each rug must be fully and evenly dried before being considered finished.
Finally, we do one last inspection to make sure the rug is in great shape and that the fibers are groomed back to their natural state, looking for any spots or issues that need extra attention.
