Specialized Pet Stain & Odor Removal: Expert Care for Your Handwoven Rugs
At The Persian Knot Gallery, we understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and occasional accidents on your beautiful handwoven rugs can happen. Whether it's pet urine, vomit, or even common household spills like coffee or wine, prompt professional attention is paramount to preventing long-term damage and preserving your rug's integrity.
Why Professional Intervention is Crucial: Unlike typical household cleaning agents, which can permanently damage delicate dyes and fibers, our specialized approach is designed to safely and effectively address these issues. Acting quickly significantly increases the likelihood of complete stain and odor removal, safeguarding your valuable investment.
Our Advanced Enzyme Wash Process for Pet Contaminants:
Our meticulous cleaning process for pet stains and odors goes beyond surface treatment, utilizing an advanced enzyme bath to break down contaminants at a molecular level:
- Thorough Dust & Debris Removal: We begin by meticulously removing all embedded dust, dirt, and particulate matter from deep within the rug's pile and foundation. This crucial initial step ensures maximum effectiveness of the subsequent treatments.
- Specialized Enzyme Immersion: The affected rug is then fully immersed in a custom-prepared enzyme bath for several hours. These powerful yet safe enzymes target and neutralize odor-causing bacteria and break down organic compounds responsible for stains, including dog and cat urine, vomit, and smoke residue.
- pH-Balanced Hand Washing & Rinsing: Following the enzyme treatment, the rug undergoes a gentle yet thorough hand wash using a pH-balanced shampoo specifically formulated for natural fibers. This ensures deep cleaning while protecting the rug's dyes and structural integrity. A comprehensive rinse cycle follows to remove all cleaning agents and residues.
- Advanced Water Extraction: The rug is then carefully spun in a specialized carpet spinner to efficiently and gently remove excess water, preparing it for drying without causing stress to the fibers.
- Controlled Environment Drying: The final, vital step involves drying the rug in our dedicated drying room, where temperature and humidity are precisely controlled. This ensures a slow, even, and complete drying process over a 24-48 hour period, preventing mold, mildew, and fiber distortion, and leaving your rug fresh, clean, and vibrant.
