I called ABC Rug and Carpet Care and set up an appointment with them for a consultation in Brooklyn. The technician was very professional and went over cleaning options for my Oriental rugs and what was the best way to clean them. Even though I vacuum weekly they still picked up dust and a few stains from my pet. Their rep gave my a very price and they took the rug. After a week, they delivered the rug back to me. The moment I opened m rug I knew they did a great job. The stains and dark spots were gone and the fiber felt soft and clean. I feel like I got a brand new rug.

ABC Silk Rug Cleaning Brooklyn
ABC Rug and Carpet Care uses a wide variety of techniques to preserve and restore valuable heirlooms. This includes antiques but also hand manufactured carpets that are worth too much money to let ruin. Whether it is normal dirt or something particularly nasty, there is a gentle and effective solution for silk rug cleaning in Brooklyn NY.
Green Cleaning is Beneficial for Silk Rugs
ABC Rug and Carpet Care cleaning uses green methods to get the stains out. Non-hazardous chemicals that do not leech anything undesirable into the atmosphere, and also are good for organic fibers. Silk rug cleaning needs special attention paid to the word silk. It is a natural thread that can be broken down and decomposed by the wrong chemicals. Know that your rug will be treated only with safe substances.
Regular dry cleaning is not appropriate for an antique. While it might work, it might also be that standard dry cleaning staff are more accustomed to cleaning clothing and might not treat your heirloom right. People experienced at working with unique objects will prevent damage and fading. Experts will not only lift out stains, but work to preserve a treasure. It is the same care a museum curator might provide to an exhibit.
We Hand Wash Silk Rugs for the Best Results
There are many simple ways to remove different types of stain. Food particles for example are just dried and hardened organic matter. Soaking in plain water or a gentle wash will weaken and loosen them over time. It is from a good pre-soak that organic stains are harmlessly removed.
While hand washing might sound old fashioned, it is appropriate for some materials and is the right solution for dirt and stains on a silk rug. Most soaps do not degrade silk fibers and purified water is least harmful at all. While soaking does take time, it is worth the effort for something worth no small amount of money and sentimental value. Something that might have been costly to buy is worth money to preserve.
