The benefit of professional oriental rug cleaning
Rugs come in a myriad of shapes, colours, designs and materials. Many rugs play an important role in a home’s décor and some rugs are valuable or irreplaceable while some are just a cost-effective floor covering that adds character to a home or office.
Hence, it goes without saying you want the best rug cleaning service for your rug. Particularly hand-knotted Persian or Oriental rugs. Well maintained rugs can last for generations. They also play an essential role in improving the indoor air quality of a home or office. Rug fibers trap airborne particles like dust, pollen and pet dander when they fall to the floor. Essentially our rugs and carpet become large filters, catching foreign particles until removed by routine cleaning and vacuuming.
- Rugs look and feel like new
- Rugs can last for generations
- Improved indoor air quality
