Why is it Important to clean your handmade rug?

Cleaning your handmade rug will extend the life by slowing down wear and keeping wool eating insect away.




Protecting from wear and tear.

Over time dirt and sand will collect in the foundation of the rug. After some years ofwalking and using the rug it, the dirt and sand act like sand paper it will rub on the foundation. So a dirty rug will wear and tear faster than a clean rug. That is why Rug Kare in Ellicott City deep cleans your rug getting all of the dirt and sand out of the deep fibers.


Moth and Rug Beatles

Everyone knows to put our wool sweaters in the cedar chest to protect them from moths. But people forget that rugs are made of wool too. Rug Kare in Ellicott city has seen beautiful antique pieces destroyed by moths and other insects. We clean the rug and get any eggs or larva out of the rug. We also offer moth protection so ask us about that if you have any problems with insects in your rug.


Pet Stains on your rug

A urine stain on your rug can drastically change the value of your rug. The sooner we get to it the better chance we have of getting it out. Plus the odors will be deep in the rug so a simple spot treatment or surface clean will not do the trick. If you have read this far you will understand that deep cleaning is the way to go!
