Area Rug CleaningWe have seen many area rugs be part of an heirloom fortune throughout the Monmouth County area, and we understand how important it is to keep these kinds of items intact for future generations to enjoy. Some of these area rugs are very old – perhaps even more than 100 years of age in some cases. Because of the sheer value of heirloom area rugs, we at Jersey Steamer always do our best to make sure that every local with an area rug from Ocean, NJ to Trenton, NJ known how important it is take proper care of it.

To make things a little bit easier for those with heirloom rugs, we wanted to offer the following home care tips.

  • Heirloom rugs need to be kept away from high traffic areas. High traffic areas are absolutely awful for rugs that need to be preserved. Think of all the feet and shoes that track dirt, grit, and mud onto those rugs! If you want to keep a rug in good shape, make sure that it is placed in a low traffic area instead.
  • Make an effort to find out what material your area rug is made out of before you make the decision to clean it. Silk rugs have to be treated differently than wool rugs. Rugs made out of special fiber or cotton may have a completely different cleaning routine required altogether. If you’re not sure, ask an appraiser or a rug cleaning professional in your area.
  • Avoid chemical usage when cleaning your rug. We have seen other carpet cleaners use chemicals, bleaches and dyes in order to clean heirloom rugs found in Asbury Park homes. The result was not pretty. Those chemicals damaged the rugs so badly, they had to be thrown out.
  • Generally speaking, the best way to keep area rugs fresh and clean is to steam clean them. Steaming them not only removes much of the grime that accumulates over the years, but also doesn’t damage carpet fibers like chemicals tend to do. That’s why Jersey Steamer has had many antique dealers around the Red Bank and Asbury Park areas call us when they are trying to spruce up older area rugs before a major auction.
  • If you stained an heirloom area rug, it’s crucial to call the pros. Do NOT try to remove the stain by yourself. More often than not, we have seen that this causes more damage to the rug than just leaving it alone.

Heirloom rugs really do need to be handled with a lot of care in order to keep their shape. If you want to make sure that your rug will continue to look as great as it did 15 years ago, you need to call Jersey Steamer.
