Antique Oriental Rugs Need Gentle, Planet-Safe Cleaning Products: Expert Review

People don't go around sniffing at their Persian rugs - well, most people don't, but after a while, a pet-blessed rug just can't be ignored. The desire to throw every odor-killing chemical known to humankind at a smelly rug is understandable but not advisable.

Harsh chemicals can ruin your exquisite Tabriz, Kashan, or Bokhara rug. So, how do you remove pet odors from Oriental rugs? Chem-Dry of Allen County has the answer.

How Chemical Rug Cleaners Damage Oriental Rugs

Chem-Dry now offers a specialized service in and around Fort Wayne, which uses a gentle cleaning process that protects the dyes and natural fibers of your Oriental rug while eliminating persistent pet stains and odors.

Bleach-based or strongly alkaline cleaning chemicals react with your rug's natural fibers and dyes. The result is a permanent loss of sheen or discoloration - which you don't want on a Persian Keshan (or Kashan) rug that costs thousands of dollars. So, how do you clean these delicate rugs?

Cleaning That Preserves Colors & Textures

Chem-Dry of Allen County uses mild cleaning products that preserve the fabric's luster and texture.

Each rug cleaning begins with a detailed inspection to develop a customized treatment plan. The company's proprietary P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) process, combined with green-certified cleaning solutions, provides deep cleaning without risking color bleeding or fiber damage. This eco-friendly approach works well for:

• Pakistan-made Keshan rugs, which often combine wool and silk
• Tabriz rugs, known for their high knot density and delicate silk accents
• Bokhara rugs handspun from wool and colored with vegetable dyes
• Gabbeh tribal rugs, highly regarded for their earthy colors and coarse texture

Each rug receives a thorough evaluation from certified specialists to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method. The choice of cleaning products is a key differentiator: Chem-Dry of Allen County avoids chemicals that leave behind sticky residues, which can attract more dirt.
