Below is an outline providing a little
rug washing information from
our oriental rug cleaning specialists.

Twenty or thirty years of use in an Eastern home will do the trick:  there, all the loose hairs in the wool will gradually come out and the gentle traffic of feet without shoes in a room with little or no furniture will cause the fibres to begin to glow with a natural lustre (that same sheen which is frowned upon when it develops in a businessman's suite!).  However, the same effect can be achieved by a process of washing.  Many techniques are used in different countries, from simply dipping the carpet in a Persian brook and hanging it in the sun to dry, to complex chemical processing carried out in modern factories in Europe or the USA.
