In many cases Oriental rugs or Chinese rugs have a sculptured design, which means they have been constructed with high and low areas of fibre construction or have been hand cut. Chem-Dry will also brush the tassels and fringes to revitalise them and reduce the risk of any damage when cleaning Oriental rugs or cleaning Persian rugs.

It is essential that before any rug is cleaned, your rug cleaning technician determines the potential for the following to occur;

• Colour runs when cleaning Chinese rugs, Oriental rugs or rugs of any kind
• Colour bleeding
• Any pre-existing wear or damage 
• Pile distortion

Identification of the rug fibre content and any previous cleaning, forms part of a Chem-Dry technician's rug cleaning service and duties.

During this rug identification process, we would undertake a small test to ensure compatibility, making allowance for any slight difference in the construction process for both machine made Oriental rugs and hand woven Oriental rugs.
