NORTHBROOK ANTIQUE RUG CLEANING

antique rug cleaning
Fine handwoven Oriental rugs can last for hundreds of years if cared for properly. Depending on the age of the rug it may fall into one of two different categories of antique. For a rug to be considered antique, it will need to be over 50 years old. Rugs that are between 30-99 years old are considered semi-antique. The fact that your rug has been classified antique indicates that is was handcrafted with the best materials available and to keep your rug at its best you will have to know how to clean it properly.  ​

Antique Rug Cleaning In Northbrook, IL

Antique rugs should be professionally cleaned every 3-5 years depending on where the location off the rug and how much foot traffic it receives. Between professional cleanings, it is important to properly maintain the rug by vacuuming the front and back of your rug to remove any dust or debris that may have accumulated in the rug. You can purchase a vacuum made specially to clean antique rugs, or you can use your everyday vacuum as long as you are careful not to use the bristles as they may damage the carpet. If you are unsure or afraid, your vacuum may damage your Oriental rug you can go old school and use a broom to remove any dust or dirt from the rug. It is also important to make sure the back of the rug has any dust and dirt removed as this trapped debris can cause damage to the rug fibers.  

​If a spill occurs on the 
rug, it is important to address it immediately, and the best method is to use a clean absorbent towel and remove as much of the liquid as possible. Next, take warm water and a clean sponge and gently blot the area where the spill occurred. If plain water does not completely clean the stain they white vinegar can be added to clean warm water and blotted with a sponge again. It is important that you never use chemical cleaners on your rug as they will damage the natural fibers of the carpet. If water or water mixed with white vinegar does not remove the stain, it is best to have your rug cleaned by a professional like Northbrook Oriental Rug Pros.  ​

Professional Rug Cleaning

antique rug cleaning
Antique Oriental rugs are well worth the investment as they not only provide aesthetic beauty; they are extremely durable allowing them to last for over 100 years when cared for properly. Between professional cleanings, it is important to keep dust, dirt and spills cleaned as much as possible to help maintain not only the beauty of the rug but protect the natural fibers from which the rug was constructed. While routine maintenance will help increase the longevity of the antique rug, it is still important to have the rug cleaned by a professional as they have the experience and tools required to remove all the dirt and dust that routine cleaning cannot remove.  ​
