Vacuum cleaning technology is constantly advancing, but has limits when caring for a luxury rug. While a higher price range model can help, it’s still no substitute for a professional deep clean. This is because vacuums are designed to deal with dry soiling present on surfaces.
Luxury rugs made of both natural and man-made fibres often feature a thick pile and, over time, dirt and dust filter down and start to accumulate. While vacuuming daily will remove the latest surface matter, the build-up below continues to increase. Left unchecked it compacts around yarns, shredding them under pressure and causing rugs to become threadbare.
Furthermore, not all rug spoiling is dry. Rug fibres are porous and absorb matter containing moisture from spilled drinks and food, pet mess and even damp that forms mould.
Professional cleaners don’t use vacuum cleaners. Thousands of micro vibrations are used to separate dry soiling before rugs are soaked with a mild-but-effective detergent, which is then flushed out in a washing pool. Additional cleaning stages include anti-bacterial treatments, stain removal and hand grooming, among others.
To sum up while a vacuum can help reduce dust and allergens held by rugs, it can’t compete with a professional deep clean.
