Improper Cleanings

Improper cleaning is a leading cause of damage to Oriental rugs. The danger presented by most commercial companies is due to the harshness of over the counter cleaning formulations, hot water, mechanical brushing, inadequate cleaning & incomplete rinsing.

Moisture

Flower pots, pet dishes and patio doors are the worst cause of rot. Water staining is caused, not by the water itself, but by material dissolved in and transported by it. Wool silk and cotton react with many substances. These may, in effect, dye the material & resist being removed. Flooding brings tannins, iron & dyeing substances into the rug from floors, roofs, furnishing etc. When the rug is wet more than a week, mold fungi can grow & weaken the rug, both bacteria & fungi may irreversibly damage a rug.

Light

All wavelength of light contribute energy that accelerate chemical reactions in dyes. The strongest reactions occur with light near the blue & ultraviolet end of the spectrum. In time with exposure to light natural fibers become brittle & breakdown. Dyes fade Sunlight provides a large amount of UV light & windows should be filtered to eliminate it. Fluorescent lights also radiate UV in great amounts & should be filtered if used. Modern conditions of lighting are one of the worst hazards to natural fibers.
