There are things that can not be avoided when you are a fire or water loss. Carpet cleaning and repair is necessary. Oriental rugs are often the most expensive at square feet and require special attention. Handling the rug soon in the proper way will prevent you from hindering the way.
The first job you want to do is to immediately drain water from the rug / carpet! The longer the rug is in the water, the higher the possibility that the dye will move. If your rug / carpet is old, color correction may be difficult and impossible. If you extract it immediately, this risk will be greatly reduced.
When extracting water please move the wand with cereal. This will do two things ... one: Physically simple, less stress on your body. & 2: Prevent and minimize fiber distortion which can hardly be modified for some rugs.
If you need to move a lug from one area to the next, do not stack them! Dyes can be put from one carpet to another carpet. After all, you could only have a mountain of carpets ruined. To alleviate this problem, please do one of the two ... 1: Roll up the lug and put it in a plastic bag (long-term storage if you ship immediately from plastic and remove it) The rug will never dry completely, growth of the mold). 2: (Best option) - Place sheets / towels on rugs and roll up individually.
One of the most common and perhaps the most harmful way to dry rugs and carpets is to dry out and make sunscreen too. Even a short trip in front of the sun's rays may cause your rug to fade. I advise you to keep your rugs outdoors and not place them in your house where the sun hits it for a long time. This will surely damage your wet carpet. A better idea is to extract the water, place some fans in the vicinity, move the air and let it dry faster. If you have to lay them under the sun, place them on a flat surface with the top face down.
Finally, do not drip drip your rug. When you do this you can soak into your wool fibers or run other dyes in your carpet. There are times when we finally find more tie dyes than those designed complexly. Do not drip dry when there is no dye. Carpets are often thick enough that if one end is not completely dried the water drips.
In summary, do not forget these carpet repair tips:
1. Extract water immediately
2. Extract water with grain
3. Do not stack wet rugs.
4. Never dry in places exposed to direct sunlight
5. Do not drip dry
