Why wash the mat? A clean rug has bright, crisp colors and a wool sparkle. If this is not enough, washing the mat also protects your long-term investment. When a dirty carpet is used, soil particles cut through the fibers and accelerate wear. As a rule, the combination of the solvent action of the detergent and the mechanical effects of the washing and cleaning process is sufficient to remove this set of substances.
Carpet can be permanently and sometimes adversely affected by washing. As a rule, the risk is worth it. But it is best to understand and evaluate the risk before the area rug is washed and cleaned. One serious and very serious risk that can completely destroy a carpet is running or boring colors. This risk is maximized where there are large patches of white or light heaps, or white areas next to a red or orange heap.
Before washing, check the color stability. Use a clean, white cloth moistened with a solution of detergent and water. Wipe each color vigorously to see if any color is being transferred onto the test fabric. This test is very important. A carpet can be destroyed if light areas are colored with other colors. If the test fabric takes a lot of color, do not wash the rug area. The colors are most likely to work or wash off, and the silk will lose its shimmer if you try to wash the silk mats. If the carpet indicates that the colors are working, it is best to send the carpet to a stain remover or floor cleaning specialist.
If there is only a very light color transfer to the test fabric, then there is still some risk of washing the mat. Here are some tips to help you better understand the risk of bleeding on your carpet. If the color of your carpet has only light colors and only light colors are transmitted during the test, it is possible that your carpet works, but serious damage is unlikely. If the color of the rug has only dark colors, and only light colors are transmitted during the test, then you should be fine. But if the transfer of dark colors during the test, it is possible to perform. If the area's carpet mainly has light colors with several dark areas and only the transfer of light colors, it is possible to start, but serious damage is irregular. If dark colors are possible, execution is possible. And finally, if the color of the area of the rug is mostly dark, with several light areas and only the transmission of light colors, it is possible to start, but serious damage is irregular. If the transfer of dark colors during the test, it is possible to perform work.
Carpets are valued worldwide for their beauty, warmth and artistry. They are more than just floor coverings; they are works of art, weaving unsold craftsmanship and family relics. Be careful and protect your overtime investment, and you will be rewarded with a mat that will last a lifetime, generation after generation.
