What is a Chinese rug?
Traditional Chinese rug colours are red, blue and yellow. More contemporary rugs are made in every colour.
Chinese rugs are hand knotted with large knots and a uniform appearance. Some Chinese rugs with a Persian influence are called Sino-Persian. Rug weaving in China goes back to the third century B.C.
Most Chinese rugs like Pakistan and Indian rugs are designed for mass market. They are designed by size, colours and different qualities.

Cleaning Chinese rugs
We clean Chinese rugs as safely as we can using cleaning solutions and techniques that will not damage the rug.
The first thing we do is to carry out a full inspection on the rug to see if the rug has any damage to it. What stains the rug has and if there is an odour. You will be best advised on what stains will come out and what stains may not come out during cleaning.
Once the inspection is carried out we then use our RugBadger to get up to 80% of the dry soil out. Once all the dry soil is removed we then decide what the best cleaning method is to be used. Most of the time a rug is soaked in our cleaning solution and then cleaned with soft brushes. The dyes on the rugs are tested to see if they will bleed and if they do, we can use our dye stabiliser to set the dyes to prevent them from bleeding onto the lighter colours of the rug.
The rug is then rinsed with fresh water removing stains, dirt and soil. Once the main body of the rug is cleaned we then clean the fringes of your rug removing dirt and staining.
Once the rug is cleaned and flushed out of all dirt and cleaning solution it is then dried on our drying racks in our drying room. We use air movers, heaters and dehumidifiers to dry the rugs quickly.
