Experts tips on dealing with spills on your Persian rugs
If you have a Persian rug at your home, I’m certain that you would love this prized possession. And I am also certain that you would always be worried about taking care of these rugs from spills and drinks. Spills are inevitable, especially when you have guests coming to your home every now and then. You cannot avoid that. But, what you can do is make sure that you are ready when such spills happen.
Here are some tips that will help you to stay prepared for these spills –
Quickly blot
Speed is going to be your best friend when dealing with spills on your Persian rugs. As soon as you figure out there has been spillage, what you need to do is quickly grab dry kitchen towels and blot. What blotting does is that it quickly soaks the liquid from the rug fabrics and dry the rug. Drying is important because the moisture if left unchecked could completely damage the rug, and at the same time lead to rise of infectious bacteria and microbes.
Shampoo and warm water
In case the spill has gone unnoticed, or maybe it is dry food that has seeped deep in the fabric, then you need to bring the mixture of shampoo and warm water to good use. Dampen a cloth and use this solution to remove the stain first. If the spillage has dried, then you can always use a plastic spatula to scrape off the spillage and then go ahead and make use of the solution to remove the spill. And, when stains are removed don’t forget to dry them off using a vacuum cleaner.
Don’t try too many things
And, in case you are not satisfied with the cleaning done by yourself, then rather than trying out too many different things that people have suggested, it is always the best idea to get in touch with professional carpet cleaners who can take care of it in the best possible manner. After all, it would not be a good idea to damage the rugs by experimenting with different cleaning options without knowing their impact.
Those were just a few of the tips that can help you get rid of the spillage woes from your Persian rugs. If you still are unsure of what to do, then without giving a second thought just go ahead with professional carpet cleaners and let them do their job.
