WINNETKA RUG WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION
Since we often think of water as a natural cleaner, we frequently overlook the damage it can cause and the havoc it wreaks on rugs. Water can encourage shrinking and loss of shape, and formation of mildew and mold, ruining fibers and the exquisite materials in Oriental rugs and other fine materials. Although more damaging to natural fibers and materials, like hide and camel hair, cotton, and silk – it can still create unwanted staining and rot in synthetic materials as well. When we remember that not all water is equal, this makes more sense. The water we drink much purer than rainwater or seawater, and ground runoff is full of contaminant and staining agents. Water damage can come from a variety of sources: a faulty seal in a doorway that let water into the home, natural disasters like hurricanes and floods, an attempted self-clean at home of a rug that was too difficult to dry completely, a pipe burst or faucet overflow. The possibilities are endless. And they don’t just affect the rug, they can damage the flooring underneath as well, which is why it is imperative water damage be immediately tended to.

Water Damage Restoration For Rugs In Winnetka, ILWhen we treat a rug for water damage at Winnetka Oriental Rug Pros, our process is very different from our other care methods. First, we must find a way to remove all existing water from the rug. This involves a combination of drying techniques and using a vacuum like item to suck excess water out. We must also remove any padding underneath the rug, and will dry or, in extreme cases, replace it. Second, we want to prevent any mold and mildew from growing in the rug and creating unwanted stains and odors. We utilize an anti-microbial agent for this, and meticulously apply it so we don’t miss an inch. Then, we finish drying the rug in our drying facility, using our high-speed fans and dehumidifiers.

Area Rug Restoration
To prevent future damage, we can make suggestions based on your specific living situation and flooring type. Taking action to be proactive and prevent future issues is the best way to proceed. For example, if you live in an area or home that has higher than average humidity levels, purchasing a rug pad can help with circulation and help reduce the levels of moisture in the rug and reduce shrinkage or loss of shape. Placing a dehumidifier in the home can also help to reduce water and humidity, keeping mold and mildew out of the rug and preventing the fibers from eroding due to water.
