Basic Rug Care

Basic Rug Care in Beach Haven

Rugs deserve the same care as wall-to-wall carpet and, in some cases, require special attention.

  • Washing rugs : If you have a smaller rug that needs to be cleaned,  check the label on the rug to be sure that it can be safely washed in your washing machine. Before washing your rug, be sure to shake the rug outside first, then put it in your washing machine with a mild detergent and at the recommended temperature, which is typically warm water, ranging from 90 to 105 degrees. Tumble dry your rug at the lowest heat setting.
  • Beating larger rugs : If your larger rug is easy to pick up, shake it outside first; then put it over a clothesline and beat it. Next, take the rug inside and vacuum it thoroughly. If the label recommends that your rug be dry cleaned, then save yourself the extra hassle, and call the experts in rug cleaning at Allaire Chem-Dry in Beach Haven, NJ.  You can trust your rugs of all types with the professionals at Allaire Chem-Dry who have all been trained as Area Rug Experts for all off-site cleaning .
  • Vacuuming area rugs : Area rugs with fringe require a special approach when cleaning them. Starting from the center of the rug, vacuum toward the fringe while also being careful to not catch the strands in the beater bar. Then lift the edge of the rug to vacuum underneath the fringe.
  • Caring for Oriental, Turkish or Persian rugs : Clean valuable imported rugs according to the rug manufacturer’s specifications or bring in our professional cleaning service. If you have a heirloom-type rug, you should call in one of our professionals to do the job.
