Stain Removal - Kashan Rug

We had an interesting customer story occur a couple weeks ago here at Rug Ideas. A couple brought in a very nice Kashan Rug that had some apparent color bleeding all over the rug(which made the ivory parts pink) as well as a large white stain on the bottom of it. What happened was that the couple decided to wash the rug themselves with household cleansers as it had not been cleaned in a couple years. They wet it in their backyard and once they started to wash the rug they noticed the colors started bleeding all over. In a panic they asked around and searched the internet and heard of a remedy that requires putting yogurt on the rug. The yogurt, however, made a totally new problem and stained the area that it touched. The owners of the rug gave up on their DIY rug cleaning and decided to take it to the experts... here at Rug Ideas! Take a look at the before pics below:

With all the bad news they brought, we brought some hope with our 59 years of expertise. The good news is that they brought the rug in right away once the problem happened. Letting this kind of problem sit means that the bleeding might set in and the damage could become permanent. Stain Removal is what we were going to have to do, but a good cleaning would need to come first. The Kashan rug went through our deep cleaning process, which first requires dusting of the rug to remove and debris that might turn into mud once water hits the rug, then color stabilizers to prevent further color bleeding. It then was completely wet washed using specialty shampoo made just for Oriental rugs. Once it has been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed it dries naturally under the sun. After the cleaning we had to do multiple steps of stain removal to get out the bleeding that occur when the owners originally washed the rug themselves. This process is time consuming and requires light applications, with time to the application to set in, then  further applications to get the ivory color back. Great care had to be taken so as not to lighten any other color or designs on the rug. Take a look at how fantastic this Kashan rug turned out below:

Our customers are picking their rug up in a few days, and we know that they will be absolutely ecstatic at how great the rug looks and that the errors they made in washing the rug themselves were taken care of. If you have a rug that needs cleaning, leave it to the experts at Rug Ideas, where more than half a century of experience dealing with rugs means we know exactly the best methods of taking care of your precious textiles. And if you have a rug that has had color bleeding happen and you need top quality stain removal, bring in your rug as soon as possible so that you have the best chances of getting it back to normal.

Shag Rug - Cleaning and Repair Work

A new customer brought in his shag rug that he keeps in his home recording studio as it needed some Rug Ideas attention. Firstly, the shag was very dirty and had not been cleaned in 7 years. It had accumulated lots of stains and was worse for wear. The bottom segment of the rug had become torn and it really took away from the aesthetic. Take a look below:

The shag first went through our deep cleaning process, which involves dusting, complete wet washing and natural drying in the sun. This did wonders on all those stains! We then had one of our weavers cut above the tear in the shag and bind the whole side by hand. Take a look at the fantastic results below:

This shag looks brand new! Our customer was so ecstatic he is bringing in 2 Persian rugs of his next week for a cleaning. If you need the same Rug Ideas touch, call us or come into our showroom... we're glad to help!

Tea Stain Removal - Isfahan Rug

Rug Ideas' headquarters is in the heart of Los Angeles but our customers bring us their carpets from far and wide. A customer sent us his gorgeous Handknotted Persian Isfahan Rug from Pennsylvania, who heard of us first through a referral from a friend. His Isfahan had acquired a nasty tea stain and was looking for someone who could handle the stain removal for such a quality carpet. Take a look below:

The tea stain had made an eyesore detracting from the beauty of the rug and we could understand the owner's frustration. We at Rug Ideas have seen all kinds of stains on all types of rugs so we knew just how to handle the situation. These jobs are delicate... too much stain removal and sometimes the design gets affected, too little and the stain remains. We had to treat the area in slow steps to ensure the process brought back the life to the rug; and right we did! Take a look at the results:

The tea stain has been removed and the Isfahan Rug now looks beautiful again. We just shipped it out to our customer today and can't wait for him to receive and see it. If your rug has acquired a stain make sure to bring it to us immediately so we can help with the stain removal process. The longer a stain sits on a rug, the more stubborn it often is to get out. Let Rug Ideas come to the rescue!
