Sometimes, accidentally water is spilled on the Area Rug and saturating the Area Rug. What can we do then? It’s still a pretty simple and straightforward process, only instead of a pile of wet towels, you need to use an Area Rug Water Extraction.
There are various types of ways to get these machines; such as rent one, buy one or call a professional area rug water extraction service. Each of these methods will employ similar techniques, though keep in mind that for large jobs, especially if you have been a victim of flash flooding, it would be advisable to call a professional service to properly dry and sanitize your Area Rugs.
The Area Rug water extraction is similarly a wet-dry vacuum with a flexible wand attached for maximum concentration of suction into small areas of Area Rug. The water starts coming out of the Area Rug and depositing into the machine when the head of the wand is placed directly onto the wet surface of the Area Rug. The operator moves the wand across the affected areas of the Area Rug, making sure to use slow, methodical movements in order to assure a thorough job. The job of extraction is not completed until no more water is being suctioned into the machine. It is at this point that it may be desirable to place a fan or two around the affected area to speed the drying of the Area Rug fibers, especially if the Area Rug has been wet for quite some time.
When the Area Rug gets wet for an extended period of time, and saturated by many gallons of water, or has been exposed to flood water, then call a professional to dry the Area Rug. The wet Area Rugs are the breeding ground for harmful bacteria and mold, which can present health hazards to the homeowners. Call a professional Area Rug cleaning like Oriental Rug Cleaning.
