Why Professional Rug Cleaning Matters in Miami

Miami’s environment presents unique challenges for rugs:

High humidity
Salt air exposure
Sand and fine grit
Increased risk of moisture-related damage

Improper cleaning can cause:

Color bleeding
Fiber damage
Shrinkage or warping

Handmade rugs should never be treated like wall-to-wall carpet.

True professional rug cleaning involves:

Pre-cleaning inspection of fibers, dyes, and construction
Dust removal before washing
Controlled washing methods suited to the rug type
Proper drying to prevent moisture retention
Final grooming and inspection

This process protects both the beauty and value of the rug.

How Often Should Rugs Be Professionally Cleaned?

General guidelines:

Every 1–2 years for regularly used rugs
Every 2–3 years for low-traffic areas
More frequently if exposed to pets, spills, or heavy foot traffic

Routine professional cleaning extends the life of a handmade rug significantly.
