Water Sensitive Rug Cleaning Sheffield
We offer an excellent cleaning service for water sensitive rugs in Sheffield. If you have an antique or delicate rug that requires special attention, Cleaning Pro are here to help!
Hot Water Extraction can clean many types of carpets very thoroughly, but it shouldn’t be used in certain cases. This is where Very Low Moisture (VLM) cleaning comes into its own. This type of floor care is considered to be more environmentally friendly because less water and energy are used in the process than with Hot Water Extraction.
The VLM cleaning process begins with ‘dry granules’ being spread over the carpet or rug, which are then worked deep into the fibres. Next, detergent-free cleaning additives and natural solvents absorb dirt and stains. When everything is dry our operatives will vacuum up any residue that is left over.
This technique has many benefits. It greatly reduces the risk of shrinkage, and because of this it is often used with expensive rugs. VLM cleaning also decreases the risk of damaging carpets that were fitted with water-sensitive glue, or humidity-sensitive areas like double floors. Hot Water Extraction might boast fast drying times, but this technique requires no drying time at all! Because of this it might be the prefered cleaning method in businesses with long or 24-hour opening times.
Professional maintenance for your antique rugs is a must, but there are also plenty of things you can do yourself to stop them from wearing out before their time. For example, regular vacuuming with a suction-only appliance will help to stop the build-up of damaging dust and grit. If you turn over your rugs occasionally you can make sure it isn’t the same area that is always being subjected to foot traffic. Finally, the environment your rugs are in is important; if you can avoid them being exposed too much to pets, direct sunlight and damp they will certainly last for longer.
