By Christa Jarvis


When it comes to cleaning exotic mats there is need for one to take maximum care. Most of them are used to add beauty and class to the homes. Their fabric is unique and sophisticated hence they are used in sitting rooms. In the world today, they are mostly imported from Middle East. Due to this, carrying out oriental rug cleaning is very essential.

Ensure that much attention is paid when cleaning the mat. Clean any stain immediately after its occurrence. It helps in saving the owner from stress of clearing it in future. Permanent stains and damage are avoided through this. Remember that leaving stains unattended to is costly, since it will require services of a professional cleaner. To keep of damage from dust and dirt, ensure that they are cleaned on a regular basis.

Ensure when using clearing equipment, such as vacuum cleaners, pay attention to clean both sides of your mat. This helps in loosening all dirt and dust that may be stuck on both sides of that mat. Use soft fist knocks to shake off grime and soil particles. This helps in bringing them to the surface. Vacuum both top and bottom.

Only used the manufacturer recommended chemicals and detergents on a mat. This is when conducting the clean up excise. For stubborn stains, it is recommended that one uses vinegar and water to soften them. This is because, most mats are made of soft fabrics and hence one is required to handle them with maximum care. Vinegar provides a natural clean on mats, hence leaving the mat more vibrant and well preserved in the long run.

When cleaning a given stain, ensure the right chemicals are mixed in correct quantities. Get the right concoction in a spray bottle. Get a soft brush to help in brushing off the stain. Use light sprays, doing it evenly on that rug. Upon cleaning the stain, ensure that it is left to dry. Put it under a shade away from direct sunlight to prevent heating the fabric.

One can sponge the already cleaned areas using clean water to finish. However, an absorbent towel can be used instead of a sponge. One can place a dry towel on the floor to prevent dampening of your mat. Make sure that all the parts of your mat are dry. This involves both the back and front sides.

To clean the fringes of a mat, use the same concoction.Brush softly on the fringes applying little vinegar on the fringe. This is very important if it is being used on white mats. It helps in preventing the distortion of the white colour. Do not use excess vinegar to prevent the burning of the white fabric as it may turn brown. Use fan to dry excess vinegar.

Spread the mat on the floor. It should be done under a good shade. This can be a good alternative to the fan drying method and is used in Corona Del Mar CA. For this method, ensure that the hard floor is dry prior to the spreading, to prevent growth of mildew and mould.
