Cleaning Process

  • A craftsman repairing a vintage rug with care and precision.

    Determining the Type of Carpet

    The first step in cleaning vintage rugs is determining the type of rug (Persian, Oriental, Turkish, Afghan, or Aztec) and its material (wool, silk, hemp, cotton, or bamboo silk).

    If you have a professional service like MadameOttoman, you can relax at this stage.

  • Vintage wool rug being cleaned with a brush, carefully maintaining its texture and quality.

    The Right Cleaning Supplies

    After determining the type of carpet you have, the next step is to choose the right chemicals or materials. Hand-woven carpets require different cleaners than machine-made carpets.

    You can also choose to change the carpet's color if you wish; however, a simple mixture of detergent and water is sufficient for cleaning.

  • Approach with the Right Method

    After determining the type of carpet and the cleaning method, the next step is to choose the type of washing.

    Factors such as water pressure, temperature, and chemical acidity are taken into consideration. Then, before starting the cleaning process, a decision is made whether to wash it by hand or with professional machines.

  • Correct Drying Technique

    Your carpet has been professionally cleaned, but one more step is crucial: proper drying.

    The carpet will be dried in an airy, sun-free, and odor-free environment. MadameOttoman protects your carpet from the harmful effects of the sun and unpleasant odors during this stage.

Following processes are not applied to your carpets without your request.

The procedures applied are harmless to both your carpet and human health.

  • Sun Fading

    As practiced in carpet fields, the process of allowing wool to naturally fade in color without the use of chemicals to give it a more aesthetically pleasing appearance is called sun bleaching or sun fading.

  • Chemical Washing

    The process of using chemicals to improve the appearance of wool in carpets and achieve a more vibrant tone is called chemical dyeing or color enhancement.

  • Rug Dying

    The process of using natural dyes to restore a faded carpet to the desired, newer, and more vibrant color is called overdying.
