Rug | Tapestry ~ Ink Spills, Stains and Shoe Polish Stains Handling Care

From the moment your ink-spill stained or shoe polish-stained rug or tapestry is collected, it is handled and treated with the utmost care during each stage of the treatment and cleaning process at our Rug Care Workshop Studios.

Free Collection | Inspection | Ink Spills, and Shoe Polish Stains Works Go-Ahead

We undertake a detailed initial inspection of the piece that includes any pre-existing repairs, colour-run, fibre wear or moth damage. We then review the extent of the ink spills or shoe polish stains and any associated odours to assess the rug or tapestry’s specific stain treatment and cleaning needs, and perform a colourfastness test on a concealed area, if required.

Rug Dry De-Dusting | Debris Removal

Before any stain treatments or cleaning steps are undertaken, we carefully hand-blot any present residual moisture, so we can perform a dry de-dusting on the piece. This crucial step is specifically designed for rugs, to gently loosen dust particles and safely eliminate ingrained debris and embedded build-ups in delicate rug fibres that standard vacuuming cannot reach. An effective process that protects and prevents any undue fibre abrasion, while encouraging renewed rug fibre suppleness, thereby allowing our specialised treatment applications, cleaning and conditioning processes to work more effectively.

Ink Spills and Shoe Polish Stains and Odour Applied Treatments

Removing ink spills or shoe polish is a delicate and high precision-based technique, where treatments are eco-friendly and safe for children and pets. To ensure the best results, we apply treatment solutions by hand to the affected areas in small, controlled micro amounts, and allow treated areas to dry between stages to prevent spreading or bleeding of ink or shoe polish. This gradual application process is meticulously repeated until the stain pigment is gradually lifted and original yarn colours restored or to the closest match possible.

Rug | Tapestry Deep-Wash Hand-Cleaning | Fringes Conditioning | Free Moth Treatment

Next, our traditional deep-wash hand-cleaning methods combined with organic soap solutions gently penetrate and deep cleanse the weaving and its affected areas – giving a better, more reconditioned clean, while actively rejuvenating and reconditioning yarn fibres. We hand-condition any fringes and apply a professional-grade FREE specialist moth treatment as part of this process.

Ink Spills, Shoe Polish Stains and Odour Treatments Flushing Out | Water Extraction

After cleaning, we flush out and sluice away all solutions with clean, fresh water to ensure all residues are completely eliminated – leaving yarn fibres rejuvenated and reconditioned.

Fringes Dressing | Drying

The cleaned weaving is now placed in a temperature-controlled aerating room, to ensure it is thoroughly aired and dried. Any fringes are then hand-brushed and straightened, with yarn fibres brushed out, the nap laid and the pile buffed and polished.

Free Return Delivery at Your Convenience

After a final inspection, your piece is carefully rolled and securely encased in a protective waterproof sleeve – ready for FREE return delivery to your door, booked at a time that is best for you.
