Why waiting to clean your rugs can destroy their beauty and value.

Why waiting to clean your rugs can destroy their beauty and value.

                           Pet stains – If pet stains are not dealt with right away it could damage the rug and make it unsanitary.  Pet urine and vomit are both acidic in nature which causes them to penetrate rug fibers and it can literally dye the rug.  Most rug dyes are acidic so it is important that you act fast to prevent a permanent “yellow” stain.

           Carpets, area rugs, and hand made rugs all act like your air conditioner filter, in that they trap dirt, insects, dander, pollutants, bacteria, and other air born things.  Without proper and consistent cleaning the indoor air quality in your home will be affected.

            Lastly, an unclean rug could have pounds of dirt in it.  Then every time you walk on it you are grinding the dirt particles in to the rug which causes the fibers to be scratched and cut and generally show wear before it should. Over time this will not only affect the rugs appearance, but also its value.
