So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Undertake Oriental Rug Cleaning

By Christa Jarvis


When it comes to cleaning exotic mats there is need for one to take maximum care. Most of them are used to add beauty and class to the homes. Their fabric is unique and sophisticated hence they are used in sitting rooms. In the world today, they are mostly imported from Middle East. Due to this, carrying out oriental rug cleaning is very essential.

When washing the mat, you ought to pay attention to the tough stains on the fabric. You need to clear any stain that may be on the mat. After clearing the stain thoroughly, it is likely that you will not be required to try to clear it again. This way, you will also be able to avoid permanent damage to your mat. Make sure that you clean the stains as regularly as you can.

Make sure that when you use clean up equipment, such as vacuum cleaners, you ensure that both sides are cleaned. If you clean one side only, there is a high likelihood that the dirt will still remain trapped on the other side. You can knock off the dirt using your hand with soft strokes. This way, the dirt will be brought to the top. From there, you can proceed to vacuuming it.

Make sure that the chemicals you use are the most suitable ones. In most cases, vinegar and cold water are recommended especially for the tough stains. Most of the rugs are made of soft fabric and natural dyes. Therefore, it is wise to use only the soft chemicals so as not to damage the fabrics. Vinegar is recommended because it cleans naturally without damaging the mat.

When cleaning a given stain, ensure the right chemicals are mixed in correct quantities. Get the right concoction in a spray bottle. Get a soft brush to help in brushing off the stain. Use light sprays, doing it evenly on that rug. Upon cleaning the stain, ensure that it is left to dry. Put it under a shade away from direct sunlight to prevent heating the fabric.

To finish up the wash up process, get a soft sponge to dry up water. Use absorbent towels as alternatives. Use the direction of the nap to get rid of excess water. Place some absorbent dry towels to absorb excess water that may land on the floor. Ensure that the back is completely dry, ensuring that soft brushes are used on the fur.

To clean the fringes of a mat, use the same concoction.Brush softly on the fringes applying little vinegar on the fringe. This is very important if it is being used on white mats. It helps in preventing the distortion of the white colour. Do not use excess vinegar to prevent the burning of the white fabric as it may turn brown. Use fan to dry excess vinegar.

An alternative for fan drying used in Corona Del Mar CA is spreading the rug on the floor. However, ascertain that it is not very wet. This helps to avoid growth of mould.
