FAQs – Rug Cleaning Lilyfield
Q: What’s the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs, and does it affect cleaning?
Yes. Hand-knotted rugs are fully woven and safe for immersion. Tufted rugs, which use glue to hold backing, require low-moisture cleaning to prevent delamination and odour retention.
Q: Can you stabilise dyes in bleeding rugs like Afghan or Indian pieces?
Yes. We apply a dye stabilising acid pre-wash and monitor closely throughout the rinse cycle to prevent migration.
Q: Can you remove salt or mildew from rugs used in outdoor or beachside homes?
Yes. We use oxidiser-based deodorising, fungicide rinses, and UV-drying to restore fibres damaged by humidity and salt air.
Q: Do you clean machine-made rugs with latex backings?
Yes, though they require gentler agitation, and we assess the latex condition to avoid flaking or brittleness during cleaning.
Q: Is full immersion cleaning safe for antique rugs?
It depends. We assess foundation strength, dye type, and stitch integrity. Where immersion is risky, we use controlled moisture with directional flow cleaning.
Q: What is nap correction?
It’s a grooming process used after cleaning to ensure the rug pile lies in the correct direction, which is critical for clarity in patterned rugs.
Q: Can you remove red wine or turmeric stains?
These are two of the toughest stains. We use oxidising agents and dye-specific spotters, but results depend on fibre type and time since staining. We’ll advise during the inspection.
Q: Do you offer written assessments for insurance claims (e.g. flood damage)?
Yes. We provide pre- and post-condition reports, cost assessments, and documentation suitable for insurance submissions.
