At JMS Enterprises, we have been providing professional area rug cleaning services in Montgomery County, PA since 1973. While we can get stubborn stains and dirt out of your rugs, it’s up to you to keep them looking their best between cleanings. If you want to get the most from your professional cleaning services, here are some tips to protect your area rugs after a cleaning:

Let Your Rugs Dry Completely

When it comes to area rugs, you don’t have to worry! We clean area rugs off site in our Rug Salon, ensuring that they are completely dry before delivering them and reinstalling them in your home. Our gentle cleaning methods mean we can clean even the finest Persian and Oriental rugs so they will hold their value for years to come.

Vacuum Regularly

Because many types of dirt are abrasive, keeping to a regular vacuuming schedule will prevent rug fibers from coming away from their backing. For best results, use a brushless carpet attachment on your vacuum to prevent damage to fibers and backing. Using a vacuum with a HEPA filter will also prevent allergens from being recirculated around your home.

Clean Spills and Stains Immediately

It’s always easier to remove stains when they are fresh. Accidents can happen, so if you spill something on your rugs, it’s best to tackle it right away. You can blot spills and pet stains with a cloth towel, then follow up with a gentle cleaning solution. Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this can damage rug fibers; instead, use a gentle dabbing motion until the stain is removed and wait for the area to dry completely before walking on it again.

Protect Your Rugs

There are many solutions out there that can prevent damage before it happens. At JMS Enterprises, we will be happy to apply moth deterrents and fiber protectors at your request to keep area rugs looking brand new. We are also an authorized applicator of 3M Scotchgard®, Dupont Teflon Protector, and other protective coatings to prevent stains from penetrating fibers.
