Why Dry Cleaning Is Essential
For Wool Rugs And Carpets
Dry
carpet cleaning is essential when it comes to wool rugs
and wool carpets. Wool is the absolute best choice of all
materials for both woven and tufted carpets and rugs. Wool
is also one of the safest fabrics to use for carpets and
area rugs as wool is the most naturally fire resistant of
all fibers. The durability of wool carpets is unmatched. As
an added plus, wool is naturally stain-resistant because it
repels stains and discourages them from penetrating the
fibers of the wool , making wool rugs and carpets easier to
clean should there come a time for stain removal. Wool is
naturally resistant to soil, dirt and debris . Wool rugs are
the number one choice for people who have small children and
pets. Wool carpets are also non-toxic, non-allergenic and do
not encourage the growth of bacteria.
There
is more than one way to clean a wool carpet or rug but one
of the best ways according to the experts at Flat Rate
Carpet.com in New York and New Jersey is to dry clean your
carpet . Dry cleaning a carpet or rug is an excellent form
of allergy control and is gentle enough to maintain the
original look of your carpet. Dry cleaning also gets tough
on dirt and debris that has embedded itself in the fibres of
the rug or carpet.
Why it
is preferable to dry clean wool carpet as opposed to steam
clean (also known as hot-water extraction)? The answer is
multifaceted. Dry cleaning a carpet or rug produces quick
results, as the carpet is generally dry and back to normal
within one to two hours. Secondly because there is no hot
water used in the cleaning process, there are no concerns
that in time the carpet will begin to fade. No water is used
in the process of dry cleaning a carpet or rug and therefore
there are no worries about the development of dust mites or
mildew . Finally, dry cleaning a carpet is environmentally
friendly which is to say that it is a non-toxic carpet
cleaning process that makes use of biodegradable cleaning
products that are excellent for fine rug cleaning. Dry
cleaning a wool carpet is one of the best choices for carpet
cleaning for those who have children, pets or who suffer
from allergies.
Dry
cleaning a wool carpet or rug can be done in a variety of
ways. None of the methods employed to dry clean carpet use
water or required rinsing as the final step. One method of
dry cleaning a carpet makes use of foam that is sprayed
directly onto the carpet. Another option when it comes to
dry cleaning a wool carpet is to make use of a large cotton
bonnet that goes into a spinning action to clean very deeply
and thoroughly. This way, all of the dirt and debris in the
carpet is absorbed into the cotton bonnet . The third method
of dry cleaning a carpet is by way of a substance that
resembles sawdust that is wet. A machine is used to brush
the wet sawdust like substance into the wool carpet and the
dirt in the carpet clings to it. Once the machine is
finished doing the entire carpet or rug it is left to dry
and then it is vacuumed.
