The Difference in Cleaning Rugs and Cleaning Carpets

The Difference in Cleaning Rugs and Cleaning Carpets

A high-quality, well designed area rug can work wonders for a room. No matter what type of floor surface you prefer, hardwood or carpet, putting down a well-designed rug can go a long way in tying different design elements together. While you probably don’t have area rugs in every room of your home, you want to make sure that ones you do have look the best they possibly can.
 
Even though your rug looks like it’s made out of the same material as your carpet, the two have to be cleaned in a completely different manner. Here is what you need to know about having the cleanest carpet, and the cleanest rugs, you can have.
 
Carpet Cleaning
If you have carpet, you probably already have a vacuum cleaner in the house. In fact, you may have gone the extra step and bought a carpet shampooer. If you haven’t purchased one, you may rent one from a local store. Either way, you’re already taking the steps that you are able to take to ensure that your carpet is clean.
 
However, there are things in your carpet that can’t be cleaned with a store-bought vacuum or carpet shampooer. That’s why it’s so important that you have your carpets professionally steam cleaned at least once a year, if not more. The process of professionally steam cleaning carpets gets the things out of your carpet that you don’t want living in your home or being breathed in by your family.
 
Rug Cleaning
Much like professionals know the best way to clean your carpet, professionals also know the best way to clean your rugs. If you have invested as an area rug as a design concept in your home, you’re already familiar with the cost of a quality rug. Just like you would in any walk of life, you want to protect your investment.
 
After dirt, debris, pets and other stains have left your area rug looking tattered and worn out, you may be tempted to try to scrub it yourself. Unfortunately, you may end up doing more damage to the rug by trying to clean it without knowing exactly what you’re doing.
 
Not using the right equipment or chemicals may lead to your rug losing its shape, vibrancy and fiber quality. That’s why it’s so vital that you leave this to the professionals, just like carpet cleaning.
