Oriental rug making dates back over 2,000 years, and today these prized floor coverings are a popular addition to well-appointed rooms across the UK.
However, in homes where pets are part of the family, rugs are often at risk. Fortunately, with the care and attention of professional cleaners, you can keep them in excellent condition.
Pet hair problems
Cats and dogs are drawn to rugs for additional comfort. However, while relaxing and grooming themselves, loose fur and hair is transferred to rugs and works into their fibres. While short hair is often manageable with regular vacuuming, longer pet fur can become entangled around the yarns of Oriental rugs and is less easy to extract. Over-time, pet dander build-up can impact rug appearance, merging patterns and dulling colours. Annual deep cleaning by rug experts, timed for shedding seasons when pets get their new coats, is an answer to this prevalent problem.
Pet mess issues
Trickier to tackle, pet mess occurs when cats and dogs have accidents or regurgitate food. While rolling up your rugs during puppy and kitten toilet training is always wise if an incident occurs dry matter must be carefully removed, and any liquid gently blotted fast. A professional cleaner should be consulted for a proper clean which will include stain removal preserving the rug, and a treatment that eradicates any bacteria and eliminates unpleasant odours.
