Area Rug Care Tips
At Bear Oriental Rug Cleaning we always recommend that your Oriental and Fine Rugs be cleaned outside of the customer's home or office whenever possible. The level of cleaning that we are able to do in our plant is significantly more comprehensive than is possible on location.

There are four reasons we strongly encourage this:
1. We are able to remove a much higher percentage of the dry abrasive soil using our specialized machine that vibrates this soil out of your rugs.
2. We can properly clean the fringe.
3. Safely clean without colors running.
4. Clean both sides of the rug.

Your rugs are an important investment, lets us care for them properly.

Cleaning Tips

1. Again we recommend that rugs never be cleaned on location unless there are extenuating circumstances such as size, weight, or furniture. You will never receive the level of service you are looking for with in-home cleaning. Remember we can pick up, clean, and deliver your rugs back to you.
2. Most manufacturers of oriental and fine rugs recommend that hand-made rugs be cleaned every two to four years. Some rugs in high traffic areas should be cleaned at least once a year. Soil becomes deeply embedded in some rugs very quickly and becomes almost impossible to remove when untreated for long periods of time.
3. Vacuum rugs regularly. 80 percent of soil in rugs is dry particulate matter. This acts like sandpaper and will wear a rug out prematurely.
4. Protect your wool rugs. Most wool rugs are generally sold without any type of stain protection. Have your valuable rug protected.
5. Spills and accidents should be addressed immediately, but do not use over the counter spot cleaners found in most home improvement stores and your local grocery. Some of these cleaning agents are very aggressive and can permanently discolor your rugs. Use club soda as an emergency measure until a professional can clean the rug with the proper solutions and methods.
6. Invest in a good rug pad. A pad helps with slippage, increases the life of the rug, absorbs noise and makes the rug thicker for easier walking. We offer a top quality pad and can custom size to your rug and install for you. 
The area rugs in your home or office represent a significant investment in most cases. Bear Oriental Rug Cleaning wants to ensure that they stay clean and in the best possible condition for years to come. Allergens, dust mites, sand, dirt and hair are all trapped in your area rug fibers. Regular cleaning and maintenance can ensure prolonging the life and beauty of your rugs for generations to come.
