Mo's Rug & More: Hooked Rug Cleaning in Englewood Cliffs
Gentle, Safe Cleanings for Loop-Pile rugs
Hooked rugs are full of style, texture, and handmade character. They have a wonderful soft, textured pattern due to the way the loops are constructed, which provides added structure to rugs of all materials. However, because of their unique construction, they can be damaged when cleanings are not conducted properly.
Mo’s Rug & More is focused on the cleaning and repair of hooked rugs for residents of Englewood Cliffs, Fort Lee, Tenafly, and other Bergen County area – and we know how to clean your loop-pile rug while protecting the delicate loops. We use a systematic way to clean the rug to protect all the loops, preserve the color, and re-clean your rug, with no risk of the rug fraying, fuzzing or unraveling.
Our Hooked Rug Cleaning Process
Our firm has a specialized process that has been designed to clean thoroughly, and at the same time, not disturb the looped pile or damage the base cloth.
1. Inspection & Fiber Information/Assessment
We will inspect the fiber type of your rug (wool, cotton, blends), construction type (i.e. hand-hooked or machine-made), look for fragile spots, check for odor buildup, and ask about any previous repairs. If the rug appears to be antique or handmade we will proceed with extra caution.
2. Dry Soil Removal
Controlled suction or hand agitation prior to washing. We avoid rough brushing or vacuuming because those routines may catch the loops, resulting in breakage.
3. Dye Testing & Stabilization
We will test for bleed and fade on the dark or bright areas of natural dye, to determine if we need to react first. If necessary, we can apply a color stabilizer to prevent bleeding and fading, and we will let you know what we are going to use and why.
4. Low-Moisture Cleaning
We will use a fiber-safe solution that is pre-approved by you for surface cleaning. The moisture will be tightly controlled so that labeling of the backing does not occur from damage, de lamination does not occur, or if the rug back shrinks and warps, etc. As much as you hoped to eliminate stains, we will take care of each one of them individually.
5. Odor & Bacteria Treatment (If Applicable)
For rugs as a result of pets, spills, or musty odors, we will apply safe antimicrobial treatments that will effectively eliminate odors without damaging the structure of the fiber.
6. Flat Drying & Grooming
The rug is laid flat and dried in a temperature controlled and humidity controlled environment which allows us to dry the rug flat, holds its shape, and allows for any edge curling to be remedied. Once that is done, we will hand groom the pile and once again smooth any loops.
