Oriental rug restoration & repair
service : - Genuine oriental rugs are made of wool, silk, or a combination of wool and silk. Rugs made
of wool are more durable and wear longer than synthetic fabrics. Wool is more resilient, cleans better
and stays clean for longer. Newer rugs seldom need repairing. Old antique
rugs, at times need to be rewoven where areas are worn out.
A good repair job will not only restore it back to its original condition,
but will protect it from further damage. A new fringe (tassels) may need to be added if it has been
worn out or damaged. When damages do occur, a professional rug weaver can solve most problems.
Professional rug restoration can reconstruct the foundation and reweave the pile, sew tears and repair
or replace borders and fringes.

Question: Need more information ?
Answer:
Below are more details of the various problems you might have if you are unfamiliar.
Please be aware that the pictures are of possible problems that could occur if not careful.
Answer:
Most common problems are:
Answer:
Cotton foundation can be
weakened and sometimes rotted if the rug is wetted repeatedly and not dried
properly. A common cause of such damage is when a potted plant is placed
directly on a rug. The plant is watered regularly and if the pot leaks the rug
under the pot stays permanently damp. Within a few weeks the foundation of the
rug can become so weak that chunks can be pulled from the rug by hand. If you
are placing a plant on a rug try to place on a slim leg stool so you can see
under the pot and check regularly for leeks.

Answer:
Clothes and Rugs moths larvae feed on wool, feathers, fur, hair, leather, lint, dust, paper,
and occasionally cotton, linen, silk, and synthetic fibres.
They are
especially damaging to fabric or rugs stained with beverages, urine, oil from
hair, and sweat. Most damage is done to articles left undisturbed for a long
time, such as old military uniforms and blankets, wool upholstery, feathered
hats, antique dolls and toys, natural bristle brushes, weavings, wall hangings,
piano felts, old furs, and especially wool carpets under heavy furniture and
clothing in storage.
Damage from moth larvae and other household insects can be avoided as long as
the rug is cleaned regularly (vacuuming) and is exposed to light. If part of
your rug is hidden under furniture then it is essential that it is regularly
vacuumed as this is the ideal breeding ground for rug-eating insects.
If moth grubs
or carpet beetle are discovered, then immediately contact us to stop any further
damage.

Answer:
This kind of damage is a result of late repairs by the owner of the rug. This
is one of the most common types of damage. Thread damage is due to wear and tear of the rug over time.
This can be easily fixed but may depend on the severity of the damage.

Answer:
Fringe is the Skeleton of Your Rug. Most rugs have white cotton fringe
tassels, and others have wool or silk tassels. Some rug owners like the look of
the fringe on their rugs, to others it drives those nuts to always be
straightening them, or keeping them from getting caught in the vacuum cleaner
(that is why you vacuum from side to side instead of from end to end).
But, the fringe is not just a pretty way to finish the rug
, it is actually
the foundation fibres of the rug. The rugs skeleton. Each individual tassel
that you grab in your hand runs through the middle of the rug all the way to the
other end, emerging as another individual tassel on the opposite end.

Answer:
This is
the most common form of damage as accidents do happen to the best of us
especially those with children, but can also be removed in most cases. First
step is to make haste and dry the stain up if residue is left behind and your
unsure of what to do, please contact a cleaner for advise to rectify the problem.

Answer:
Colour bleeding damage can happen to any sort of rug, although it is more
apparent with country or village types. Colour run can happen to "vegetable" dyed rugs as
easily as to synthetic dyed rugs. Good chrome (synthetic) dyes are more resistant to colour
run than some vegetable dyes. Most rug dyes are acid-fast in the sense that an acidic
environment helps stabilize the dye and reinforces the bond of the dyestuff to the wool.
Colour run is usually caused by the wash water being at basic pH level. The alkalinity
of the wash makes it susceptible to colour bleeds
A small amount of bleeding often indicates that the fugitive dye pervades the
entire piece. Colour run on the fringes of red Afghan and other rugs are usually
not very serious. Red and blue occasionally run into ivory and carpets should be
closely examined for this problem. Ivory or white wool should be clear and not
even slightly tinged with red, blue, or any other colour little fugitive red dye
can often be successfully removed with certain chemicals found in rug supply
stores, but these fugitive dyes should generally be left untreated because there
is always a danger of bleaching adjacent colours.

Answer:
Pets can cause serious damage to
oriental rugs from soiled areas to chewed or clawed fringes or borders. We
provide a full restoration service for all pet damage. Intractable animal stains
will not be extracted from a rug by means of simple cleaning. Our experienced
staff will remove an animal stain of any age imbedded in a rug. If not
addressed, an animal stain containing uric acid which can be extremely harmful
to the rugs fibre.
Pet urine can cause permanent damage to your floors and fabrics. Pet odor can
also create an unhealthy indoor environment. When urine is first deposited onto
a carpet or fabric, it has a pH of 5 or 6, which is on the acid side of the pH
scale.
