Hand Cleaning with Green Shampoo

SEVEN-STEP ANNUAL RUG MAINTENANCE AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE

Noor specializes in comprehensive “green” cleaning of natural-fiber rugs (wool, cotton, hemp, silk). Our “spring cleaning” (in whatever season) features traditional Persian methods handed down for generations:

  1. Dusting: Vigorous “dusting” by hand to remove embedded dirt and debris that can muddy and abrade fibers
  2. “Green” washing by hand: Thorough soaking; washing by hand with gentle biodegradable “green” shampoo and special brushes; multiple rinsing; air-drying
  3. Apply Stain Application: Removing stains by hand and applying stain inhibitor
  4. Moth proofing: Moth-proofing to protect against infestation and destruction of wool and silk fiber
  5. Restoration of natural oil (lanolin): Moisturizing and reconditioning wool fibers to restore natural lanolin and luster. Treating cotton foundation to resist fungus (“dry rot”)
  6. Rug softening
  7. Deodorizing/disinfecting
