Why is it important to filter and soften the water?
Hard water, prevalent in many Tri-State NY areas, contains dissolved minerals like Calcium and Magnesium. This mineral-rich water can adversely impact fabrics over time, causing colors to fade, whites to yellow, and fabric life to shorten. When soap is added to hard water, it forms a stubborn ‘soap scum,’ making cleaning challenging.
In contrast, soft water, like rainwater, is pure and lacks these minerals. Soft water enhances the effectiveness of soap, resulting in better lathering and scum-free cleaning. Fabrics remain soft and undamaged, leading to a longer life for your rugs. Choose soft water for a cleaner, healthier home environment.

How frequently should handmade Oriental, Persian, or other rugs be cleaned?
Guidelines from industry experts and the EPA vary based on factors such as traffic, pets, and HVAC systems. Generally, rugs should undergo thorough cleaning at least once a year, with some households benefiting from biannual cleaning. Regular professional cleaning is essential to combat biological contaminants like bacteria, mold, viruses, and more, especially if your rugs are exposed to central air systems.
