Are you looking for fine area rug cleaning service in the Carlsbad area? Fine rugs deserve professional cleaning to preserve their exquisite beauty for generations. Anything less risks damage. Did you know that improper cleaning is a leading cause of damage of oriental rugs? At Gentle Genie only well-trained professionals handle your rugs.
Your area rugs will be hand cleaned in our special studio using a process specifically tailored to the exact characteristics of the individual rug. Each type of rug material and rug condition requires different shampoos and even different washing and drying methods. Even in low traffic areas all rugs need to be cleaned every one to three years. And fine rugs should be professionally treated immediately after any spills. Abrasive particles quite literally cut fibers and are the real reason behind wear.
And grime encourages mildew, odors, and pests. Authorities strongly advise against any sort of in-home cleaning. At best it will only remove surface dirt, perhaps replacing it with sticky residue.
At worst it can cause permanent damage. Never steam-clean any rug containing wool. At Gentle Genie we use full immersion cold-water cleaning, and in special cases by-hand dry cleaning. We also provide pet urine, moth, pest, and allergy treatments as well as stain and soil protection, padding, and preparation for storage. Oriental rugs are made of various combinations of wool, cotton, and silk fibers.
Chinese rugs must be cleaned by hand in cold water. No machines, no harsh chemicals, and absolutely no steam. The process is time consuming, but each step is necessary. Wool is the most common material, and cotton, silk, and metal threads can also be included.
