Viscose Rug Cleaning Services We Specialize In
Viscose carpets are often times referred to as rayon, art silk banana, or bamboo rugs. These are all basically different names that refer to the same type of rug. The rugs are manufactured with the help of a series of artificial chemicals, the pulp that has been carefully extracted from natural materials such as wood, as well as by-products that originate in cotton. The end result is a form of cellulose that is very similar to silk fibers; however, it is a lot weaker and less sturdy than silk and, accordingly, its properties are also not extremely appealing.
A viscose rug is known for its inability to handle regular washing and vacuuming solutions. This is mostly because of the fact that viscose cannot keep color dye, which means that the washing must only be completed under special circumstances. We have personally assessed and came up with the best cleaning protocols for fragile viscose rugs, including:
- viscose carpet assessments inspections
- color run tests
- the dry vacuuming method
- washing using low amounts of water and low moisture cleaners
- special grooming and anti-pulling technique
- stain removal, including pet urine
- the application of fabric protectant
Low Moisture Cleaning Services
One of the most common cleaning solutions that we often times use in relation to viscose rugs is the low moisture washing method. This method refers to the use of very low amounts of fresh water, which will, in turn, lead to a lower risk of fiber damage. As water is known to directly and severely affect the integrity and strength of viscose fibers, making them 50% weaker every time water touches them, it is important to only use low moisture washing techniques.
This method does not only help us eliminate most of the dirt, debris, pollen, and dust on the rugs, but also remove some stains that can only be eliminated with water.
Dry Vacuuming
We are also experts in dry vacuuming solutions for viscose rugs. We know that powerful vacuuming will automatically pull in the weak fibers and cause them to break easily. Our technicians know how to effectively calibrate the sucking power of the advanced vacuum cleaners they work with and prevent fiber pulling that could wreak havoc on such a rug.
Our professional viscose cleaner near me team strongly advises against any home vacuuming attempts that could lead to irreparable damage. These rugs are known to shed a lot, especially when vacuumed, which is why it is even more important to only use the safest and least harmful vacuuming technique.
Special Grooming Solutions
If you are not yet familiar with the matter of nap laying and you do not fully understand how it could affect the end results of the cleaning session, keep reading. Grooming is an essential step of the process that will be completed just before the dry vacuuming is done. It is needed to guarantee that all the fibers will be pointing upwards, in a vertical position, and that the rug will look smooth and fresh once again, after the drying is completed. In other words, it will ensure that the nap laying will be done correctly.
A viscose rug that does not have all its fibers thoroughly aligned will create the illusion of a dirty rug that has not been washed properly. We only work with the most efficient nap laying tools and methods and we guarantee your rugs will look spectacular, while maintaining their integrity and structure unaltered once we will be done cleaning them.
Stain Removal Services
Besides the need to eradicate a variety of stains and spots from your viscose rugs, we understand how important it is to also remove any yellow or brown staining that might occur during the washing, when large amounts of water are used and left sitting on the rug for too long.
We only work with the most reliable, eco-friendly stain removal products and we also make use of professional fabric protectors that are applied at the end of the washing cycles to ensure further protection against new stains.
