Quality oriental rugs are most often made from hand-spun sheep wool, more rarely from goat or camel wool. For greater strength and durability, cotton fibre is also increasingly used for the warp, the pile is usually wool, sometimes cotton. More luxurious rugs may be all-silk or with silk pile on a cotton warp. At first glance, they are characterised by their high sheen. Exceptionally, metallic fibres are used – silver or gold.

Knotted rugs (with pile) are divided according to the type of knot. Basically, all rugs are knotted with either a symmetrical (Turkish, ghiordes) knot or an asymmetrical irregular (Persian, senneh) knot. These are not knots in the true sense of the word, but only loops that are stretched around two, rarely three or four warp threads.

The two main types of nodes are easy to distinguish. Fold the rug lengthwise across the width, i.e. in the direction of the weft. In a symmetrical (Turkish) knot, the wool is wrapped around the two adjacent warp threads and the ends of the knot pass between them. In an asymmetrical (Persian) knot, the loop is twisted around one warp thread and the other half is twisted around the next warp thread, so the second warp thread lies between the two ends of the knot. As a result, when looking into the pile of a symmetrical (Turkish) weave, the warp is not visible, whereas in the case of an asymmetrical (Persian) weave, one of the two warp threads can be seen.

To distinguish the type of knot in very well knotted rugs, we need a magnifying glass. The difference between Turkish and Persian weave does not indicate any difference in the quality of the rug. In a very well knotted rug, the asymmetrical Persian knot allows slightly more versatility for more complex motifs, to create softer lines.

The density of knots (finish) per 1 dm² is determined by the thickness of the material used, which means that silk rugs are much finer than wool rugs. In fact, finely knotted rugs command a higher price than coarsely knotted rugs. This is because the cost of the material is higher and it takes longer to make. Still, it is not a rule that a rug with a higher density of knots must be better and more expensive. The quality and price of rugs is influenced by many other factors – the age of the rug, its uniqueness, the quality of the weaving, the workmanship of the material and colour and last but not least the place of origin, originality and pattern.

The delivery is best determined on the reverse side of the rug. We always count 10 cm of horizontal and 10 cm of vertical knots, then multiply these numbers. The best result is obtained by calculating the diameter from several different parts of the rug. When counting knots in the horizontal direction (after the weft) it is important to remember that each knot passes through 2 warp threads.

Representative rug quality by number of knots per 1 dm²:

• Up to 500 knots – very coarse
• 500 – 1000 knots – coarse
• 1000 – 2000 knots – medium fine
• 2000 – 2500 knots – fine
• 2500 – 4500 knots – very fine
• above 4500 knots – extremely fine

Rug laundry offers comprehensive care

Rugs are a key element of interior design, providing comfort, warmth and aesthetics to any space. Over time, however, even the finest rugs are subject to soiling, wear and damage. While regular vacuuming can remove surface dirt, deep cleaning is essential to remove dust, stains, bacteria and allergens that can build up in the rug. That’s why rug laundry is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to give their rugs professional care to ensure they last longer and look fresher.

In this text, we will take a detailed look at why you should choose a rug laundry, what benefits this service offers and how the whole rug cleaning process works. We will help you understand why it is important to keep your rugs clean and hygienically safe.

Why is it important to choose a rug laundry service?

Rug laundry is a service that provides professional rug cleaning for different types and sizes of rugs. Whether it is hand-woven Persian rugs, modern synthetic rugs or wool rugs, regular deep cleaning is essential to maintain their appearance and quality. Here are some of the main reasons why it is important to use the services of a rug laundry:

1. Removing deep-set dirt

Conventional home vacuum cleaners can only remove surface dirt such as dust and hair. However, dust, dust mites, allergens and other dirt can accumulate deep in the rug fibers where they are not visible. These contaminants can cause not only a deterioration in air quality, but also allergic reactions and respiratory problems. A rug laundry service offers deep cleaning that will effectively remove all dirt from your rug.

2. Extending the life of your rug

Rugs are an investment in your home or office, so it’s important to care for them properly. Regular care, including deep cleaning at a rug laundry, helps maintain the fibre structure and protects your rug from premature wear and tear. Dust and dirt can weaken rug fibers, leading to breakage and fading. Rug laundry services ensure that your rug will always look like new.

3. Remove stains and odours

Rugs can easily absorb liquids, grease and various odors such as those from food, pets or smoking. If stains and odours are not treated properly, they can become permanent and affect the overall atmosphere of the room. Professional rug laundry uses special techniques and cleaning products that can effectively remove even the most stubborn stains and unpleasant odors.

4. Improving air quality

Rugs that are not cleaned regularly can contribute to poor air quality in your home or office. Allergens, dust and dust mites can be released into the air, which can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions and other health complications. A rug washer can help you keep your rug hygienically clean and ensure that the air in your space is cleaner and healthier.

5. Professional care for different types of rugs

Different types of rugs require specific care, whether they are natural materials like wool or silk, or synthetic materials. Improper cleaning can damage rugs, leading to their deterioration. A rug laundry employs experts who are experienced with different types of materials and cleaning techniques, ensuring that your rug is properly treated and remains in perfect condition.

How is the cleaning process at a rug laundry

Rug Laundry offers a comprehensive and professional cleaning process that involves several stages to ensure that your rug is perfectly clean and hygienic. Here is a detailed description of each step:

1. Preliminary rug inspection and diagnosis

The first step is a thorough inspection of the rug. Our experts will examine the type of material, the degree of soiling, the presence of stains and what kind of care is best suited for the rug. Based on this analysis, a cleaning plan is created that takes into account the specific needs of your rug.

2. Preliminary soil removal

Before the actual deep cleaning, all surface dirt such as dust, sand, pet hair and other loose particles must be removed. This step is carried out using special vacuum cleaners that are designed to effectively remove even the finest particles.

3. Deep rug cleaning

After the preliminary dirt removal comes the actual deep cleaning. Rug laundry uses advanced cleaning technologies that penetrate deep into the rug fibers to remove even the toughest dirt, stains, and bacteria. We use special cleaning agents that are gentle on the material, yet effective in fighting dirt. This step ensures that the rug is not only clean on the surface, but also inside the fibers.

4. Application of special treatments

Depending on the type of rug and its needs, several special treatments may be applied. For example, for rugs that are exposed to moisture or at risk of mould, we can apply an antibacterial treatment. For rugs that are prone to colour deterioration, products that protect the colours and preserve their richness are used. This step is key to ensuring the longevity and protection of your rug.

5. Odour neutralisation and antibacterial treatment

If your rug is affected by unpleasant odors, such as from pets, smoking or spilled liquids, rug laundry provides an odor neutralization service. We use special deodorizers and ozone machines that neutralize odors on a molecular level, rather than just masking them. This keeps the rug fresh and odor-free.

6. Rinsing and drying the rug

Once the cleaning and treatment is complete, the rug is thoroughly rinsed to remove all residual detergents and dirt. The rug is then dried in a controlled environment to ensure that moisture is quickly and effectively removed. This process minimises the risk of mould and other moisture related problems.

7. Final inspection and adjustments

Once drying is complete, the rug is subjected to a final inspection to ensure that it is perfectly clean, dry and ready for use. Our experts carry out a detailed inspection and make minor adjustments where necessary to ensure the best possible result.

Rug Laundry provides a comprehensive service in terms of professional cleaning and antibacterial protection for your rugs. Our services include deep cleaning, stain removal, odor neutralization, ozone antibacterial treatment and many other treatments to ensure your rug looks like new again.
