Rug Colorfastness & pH Testing in Greater Houston, TX

Cleaning your rugs is not always as easy as it may seem. There are many factors to consider before washing them, like the rug's fibers and dyes. They can vary depending on the kind of rug you have as each rug is different and what works for one rug may not work for another. To make sure you can keep your rug's beauty and integrity, it is important to take a closer look before cleaning it. This is why one of the most crucial steps in the rug-cleaning process is testing the rug's colorfastness and pH. These tests are needed to make sure the correct chemicals are used to wash your rugs.

Why do Colorfastness and pH Testing?

Before any professional cleaning can begin, rug experts must know what kind of rugs they are working with. After they determine the type, they decide what the best method of cleaning will be for the rug. These steps include running a colorfastness and pH test on a small section of your rug. Colorfastness and pH balance tests are used to make sure your rug's dye doesn't bleed and the cleaning methods don't damage the rug fibers. Washing your rugs without these crucial steps will damage the fibers and appearance of your rug. Rugs fibers can be made of silk, wool, silk, cotton, or linen. Each type will require a specific method of cleaning. This is why testing before cleaning is important. After checking the colorfastness and pH of your rug, our rug specialists will move to the cleaning solution step then rinse, groom, dry, and finally deliver the rug back to you.
